    Make sure your device meets these requirements:

    • Devices need to be running Windows 10 Version 22H2 Home, Professional, Pro Education, or Workstations edition.
    • Devices need to have the latest Windows Update installed.
    • The Microsoft account used to sign in to the device must be an administrator account.
    • The ESU license will be associated with the Microsoft account used to enroll. You may be prompted to sign in with a Microsoft account, if you typically sign into Windows with a local account.
    • The signed Microsoft account can’t be a child account.
