    Consumers can enroll their Windows 10 installs to get 1 free year of ESUs as long as they sync their PC settings.
    But is this only for the Consumer-oriented W10 SKUs (Home, Pro and ProWS), or is this available for Enterprise/Education editions? Microsoft's documentation doesn't make this very clear.

    You do understand that the backup that needs to be enabled probably will exceed the free amount of ondedrive space people get?

    Considering that tsforge gives you 3 years of ESU support, the "free" msft offer (you will pay one way or the other) kinda is useless.

    And when you forget to disable some setting you will end up with an online windows account and a bitlocker encrypted drive.

    Did a test on a VM.
    Option to enroll into ESUs does not show up on Enterprise SKU even though I am syncing my settings.

    Most enerprise users will get the official ESU licenses from their IT department, not by enabling a onedrive backup option, and what options do you mean? WIndows 10 is still supported for all users and the ESU settings probably are not shown, they weren't shown on Win 7 either afaik.
