  • Business Windows 10 ESU offering

    Posted on February 13, 2025 at 03:00 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    The other day, Microsoft announced more details about the Windows 10 ESU offering for business. It noted that “Extended Security Updates for Windows 10 can be purchased today through the Microsoft Volume Licensing Program, at $61 USD per device for Year One. “

    Ugh. The Volume Licensing (VL) program is one of Microsoft’s clunkier purchasing processes.  Although you can purchase a Windows 10 ESU in quantities as low as one, that doesn’t mean you can easily find a vendor willing to sell singletons if you are not an existing customer. In the past, I once used SoftwareOne to purchase small quantities.  I’ll reach out to see if it is still willing to do so.

    But be prepared to be patient. The last time I signed up for a new VL contract, it involved a bunch of electronic forms, after which I logged into a Microsoft 365 portal to download product keys (or whatever they will supply this time to activate the ESU). For consumers, Microsoft has not yet opened up a process to purchase the extended license. I’ll report once that happens.
