ESU Year 1 and Year 2 Required
You need ESU Year 1 and Year 2 support to apply the Year 3 license to your Windows 10 PC.
The Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program provides critical security updates for PCs on Windows 10 after Microsoft’s end of support. After October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide free updates to Windows 10. The ESU program provides security updates to Windows 10 users for a maximum of three years.
This offer provides security updates to PCs running Windows 10 for the third year after Microsoft’s end of support on October 14, 2025. You may apply your ESU Year 3 license at any time, and ESU Year 3 support will last from November 1, 2027, to October 31, 2028. This offer is intended for organizations that already have ESU Year 1 and Year 2 support.
Year 3 is the final year of the ESU program. For continued updates from Microsoft, upgrade to Windows 11.
