I understood that the ESU purchase program for Windows 10 personal pc's would be available mid August. I need to purchase this - how do I do that?

    Hello

    It should be available between mid and end August, so it can be anytime now.

    Make sure your computer is meeting the requirement though: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-consumer-extended-security-updates-esu-program-33e17de9-36b3-43bb-874d-6c53d2e4bf42

    You can also run commands to get the link to come up:

    Please type cmd in the search on the taskbar. Don't press enter key yet. Instead, choose "run as administrator" to launch Command Prompt.

    Then run these commands one at a time:

    sc.exe config DiagTrack start=auto 
    
    sc.exe start DiagTrack 
    
    reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides" /v 4011992206 /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
    

    Restart the computer, and now launch command prompt in admin mode again, and run this:

    cmd /c ClipESUConsumer.exe -evaluateEligibility
    

    You would then find the ESU link after 24 hours.
