I don't personally have any Windows 10 devices to visually confirm this myself, so I won't be able to give my personal guarantee, but it's true.

I just saw this posted on June 24, 2025. Is this correct?

"The other two options to get ESU on Windows 10 involve paying the $30 fee for a year of updates, or redeeming 1,000 Microsoft Reward points. Microsoft is adding an enrollment wizard to Windows 10 in July that will have these three options. “Once you select an option and follow the on-screen steps, your PC will automatically be enrolled,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft."
