To register your device for Extended Security Updates (ESU) on Windows 10 Pro, you typically need to follow these steps:
- Check Eligibility: Ensure that your device is eligible for ESU. This usually requires that you are running a supported version of Windows 10.
- Purchase ESU: You need to purchase the ESU license from Microsoft or an authorized reseller. This is a paid service.
- Install the ESU Key: After purchasing, you will receive a key that needs to be installed on your device. You can do this using the command line:
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Use the command:
slmgr.vbs /ipk <Your-ESU-Key>to install the key.
- Activate the ESU Key: After installing the key, you need to activate it with the command:
slmgr.vbs /ato. - Check Registration: Verify that your device is registered for ESU by checking the update settings or using the command:
slmgr.vbs /dli.
If you encounter errors during this process, ensure that your device is connected to the internet and that there are no firewall settings blocking the registration process. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for assistance.
