      ESU is a paid service for enterprise. They didn’t even offer ESU for windows 7 home at all for any price.

      Windows 7 pro ESU per device cost $50 for 1 year, $100 for the next year, $200 for the final year.

      Windows 7 enterprise was per device 1 year $25, second year $50, and 3rd year $100.

      Micro$oft is not going to give win10 ESU away for free and they probably won’t supported home edition.

      You can however bypass the win11 hardware checks to upgrade unsupported devices.

    Meanwhile, Apple’s refusal to support computers only three years old has been far, far worse for the environment.

    Consumers will just keep going. But businesses that actually care about security? Yeah it might be a lot. I wonder if they will just toss them or if they’ll actually donate them.
