Windows 7 Extended Security Updates

As previously announced, Windows 7 extended support is ending January 14, 2020. While many of you are already well on your way in deploying Windows 10, we understand that everyone is at a different point in the upgrade process.

With that in mind, today we are announcing that we will offer paid Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU) through January 2023. The Windows 7 ESU will be sold on a per-device basis and the price will increase each year.
Windows 7 ESUs will be available to all Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise customers in Volume Licensing, with a discount to customers with Windows software assurance, Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows
10 Education subscriptions. In addition, Office 365 ProPlus will be supported on devices with active Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU) through January 2023. This means that customers who purchase the Windows 7 ESU will
be able to continue to run Office 365 ProPlus.

Please reach out to your partner or Microsoft account team for further details.

This time around, the ESU program is being run out of Microsoft's Volume Licensing Unit and Core Windows Engineering "is producing these updates like a product," Spataro explained.

 

Windows 7 Professional Extended Security Updates

I've seen many posts asking the same question whether Win 7 Pro support ends in 2020. In my searches no one asked about the ESU.

I understand Win 7 Professional owners have the option through a MS Partner to purchase Extended Security updates (ESU) for up to 3 years. Of all the partners listed in the portal, I am down to asking the last
three if they can offer the ESU contract.

If the partners refuse to offer the ESU, is MS offering the option seeing their partners refuse?
