How to enroll windows 10 in extended security updates FREE

Windows 10 users can enroll in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for free by linking their device to a Microsoft account. The enrollment process is accessible through the Windows Update settings. To enroll for free, open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and select the "Enroll now" link under the support deadline notification. If the "Enroll now" option does not appear, ensure your system has the latest Windows 10 updates installed and that you are logged in with an administrator account linked to a Microsoft account. Once enrolled, your PC will continue receiving critical security updates until October 13, 2026.
