Windows 10: Hate Windows 11? Windows 10’s extended updates Enroll button is slowly rolling out, says...

Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025, but that doesn’t mean the OS’s days are numbered. Windows 10 updates can be extended until October 13, 2026 and Microsoft is offering as many as three routes to get extended security updates. You can access the ESU by launching ‘Enroll now (ESU)’ wizard, but it doesn’t work right now for everyone.

Most of you won’t see the Enroll now button for extended security updates, which is supposed to show up on the Windows Update page, below the ‘Check for updates’ button, but I’ve good news for those still planning to keep using Windows 10. Microsoft told Windows Latest that everyone will see the toggle before the EOL. It’s rolling out.



This doesn’t mean the “Enroll now” button for ESU (extended security updates) is missing for everyone. Windows Latest understands that it’s rolling out to some users. Microsoft has already made that absolutely clear in the release notes.



For example, July 2025’s Patch notes confirm the ESU wizard exists in production. “Some users experienced a problem where clicking ‘Enroll now’ caused the wizard window to open, begin loading, and then close unexpectedly,” Microsoft noted in the release notes, stating that it fixed the issue.

In our tests, Windows Latest found the ‘Enroll now’ button working in the August 2025 Update (KB5063709).

But several users told me that they do not see the Enroll now button, which makes it impossible to subscribe to Extended Security updates.

I asked Microsoft for details and I’m told that the ESU wizard is being rolled out slowly, and if you’ve an updated Windows installation, you’ll automatically see the toggle. No action is required from your end.

Hands-on with the ESU tool in Windows 10


Microsoft has two different ESU programs. One is for regular customers, and another is for enterprises. As a regular consumer, you can pay $30 to buy the ESU package and use it with a local account (no Microsoft account).

In case you’ve a Microsoft account, you can sync Windows settings to OneDrive, and ESU will get activated. Or you can spare 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points.



I’ve used the Extended Security Updates program’s wizard a couple of times now, and it’s actually really easy to enroll your PC. If you don’t believe me, watch the above GIF/video that shows how I signed for the ESU. You just need to sync PC settings to the Microsoft account, and it’ll work.

I noticed that Microsoft allows you to activate ESU for as many as ten PCs running Windows 10 using the same Microsoft account, so you don’t have to worry if you’ve multiple PCs.



You can enroll now or anytime until October 13, 2026. Microsoft is giving everyone one year to sign up for ESU, but if you don’t sign up, your PC won’t get any updates.

To enroll, you just need to open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and you’ll see a link.

While you can keep using Windows 10, remember that Microsoft intends to annoy you with full-screen Windows 11 ads, which have been intensified this month.

Microsoft also previously confirmed that only security updates will be offered, and Windows 10 ESU does not cover technical support.

Installing Windows 10 on Lumia 920

I have a Lumia 920 mobile phone.
Found a list on the net with compatible phones that support Win 10. Mine is on that list.
Can't upgrade with the usual way.
Found help on this official website of developers for Windows Phones. It's a step by step no brainer thing. Most people are doing it. Except me. I can't get past point 6. HOWTO: Install Windows 10 for Phones on Non-supported devices (and other hacks)

"6.Connect to the same WiFi that your PC is on. Edit the settings for the WiFi connection to turn on the Proxy and set it to use the PC’s IP address and enter 8877 for the port "

7. Open Internet Explorer on your phone and navigate to http://[pc.ip.add.ress]:8877 where [pc.ip.add.ress] is the IP address of the PC running the WPInsidersHacks app
No idea what this means.I guess i need to access the router and modify some settings in there. Some guy on the forum told me " think he means to use the local IP address of the pc. Go to cmd and type ipconfig and look for ipv4 address. Should be somethin like 192/......"

I did connect my phone as always via wi-fi to my router. But i have no ideea how to use that proxy or how to make my phone have the same Ip as computer. I did start WPInsiderHacks app on pc. This is what it looks like




Theres also this official Windows 10 Preview On Nokia Lumia 920
It says this :
1. Download the Windows Insider app.
Press ... > about > make sure Sys free space is 300MB or more.
If there isn't enough space, make full reset with Windows Phone Recovery Tool.

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn:7777

Download and install certificate.
3. Edit WiFi connection, enable Proxy

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn
7777

4. Open Insider app, click get builds
5. You will get Enroll page, do not Enroll yet!
6. Switch to WIFI settings, turn off proxy.
7. Switch to Windows Insider app and now you can enroll for Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Choose Fast option.
8. Check Settings > Phone update.
If it can't find updates, you may need to reboot your phone and enroll again (without a proxy now).

Same thing with the proxy. Anyways the more detailed steps on the DEV forum are much better i think .Cuz they put out more info on how to do it.

Can anybody help me with step 6 ?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
