Of course many don't want the new buggy OS from Microsoft.... Not only because they can't upgrade. 

Windows 10 refugees flock to Linux in what devs call their "biggest launch ever"

Well, its 4 days to EOL and all my (non-LTSC) Win 10 machines are still waiting for that mythical ESU enrolment option to show up.

 I am enrolled in ESU since i always had a Microsoft account since the Windows 8 days, Its very easy to setup. But if you use a local account, first create a Microsoft account and then you can go back to a local account but you have to sign in to your microsoft account every 60 days or less otherwise you'll have to reenroll ESU again. At this time its a temp solution

Thanks!

 

The account creation was the trick to getting it working. I created another account as local first (so that it would use the folder name I want), and made it an administrator account. I found it was getting offered the 'enrol now' link - unlike my normal local account which isn't an administrator. Then I linked it to a Microsoft account and did the settings backup thing to satisfy the pre-condition before proceeding, and then enrolled the ESU without any further trouble. 

 

So there are 3 accounts on that machine now:

• When I login with the admin Microsoft account the update screen shows the machine as enrolled for ESU
• When I check the update screen using my usual local non-admin account it still mentions nothing about enrolment
• When I check the update screen as the old local administrator account it offers the option to 'enrol now'

Only done one machine so far. Will sort out the others later.

Probably I'll nerf one to Windows 11 to try and get used to it, but will try to ESU my daily-driver for now.
