You can purchase Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) for your company’s Windows 10 Pro machines worldwide:

Contact your Microsoft account team or resellers like CDW or Insight.

Find a CSP partner via Microsoft’s partner directory (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/partner/find-a-partner)

Enroll via Azure portal for Arc-enabled devices or Azure Virtual Desktop (free for Windows 365 users).

The Extended Security Updates (ESU) program allows organizations to purchase security updates for Windows 10 Pro machines after the end of support on October 14, 2025.

I have access to a CSP portal and don't see anything other than ESU for Windows Server and SQL Server. Microsoft seems to suggest ESU for Win10 became available fall of 2024, but my volume license reseller said they can't sell it until October 2025. That doesn't give much time to prepare for this. Any more specific details?

Thanks Kevin. I just found that out too. It wasn't until I reached out to Dell that they told me that. Thanks again.

I got an e-mail from Microsoft on 4/4/25 saying that "CDW Logistics LLC was unavailable to accept your referral" for Windows 10 ESU licensing.

This is worded for organizations. What about personal computers for individuals? My computer (i5-4430) is incompatible with Windows 11, and I would like to have ESU while I build my new PC for Windows 11? :)

The answer is that it's not available yet. According to the MS Blog post below, the ESU won't be available until November 2025.

"10.31.2024: On November 1, we will begin offering the traditional 5-by-5 Extended Security Update offer through the Volume Licensing price list. The first ESU will be available in November 2025. We’ll share more details on availability of the cloud-based Extended Security Update offer on our price list in the future."

November 1 of 2024 it will be sold, not 2025. The first distribution of ESU patches will be in November of 2025.

They should be available for sale via the VL program now. However I have yet to find a vendor publishing it on their sales list. I've reached out to softwareone but they are extremely slow getting back to me. I'm trying Insight.

Oh and I tried finding a VL via their partner portal and so far all of the contacts I tried to make either didn't link up or the response was that the partner didn't offer them.

FInally I don't have a Microsoft account manager. I don't normally buy VL licenses.
