MICROSOFT MAKES WINDOWS 10 EXTENDED SECURITY UPDATES FREE, BUT THERE'S A CATCH

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Microsoft has announced a new method for consumers to enroll their Windows 10 devices in the free Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. The method requires users to enable Windows Backup to sync settings and folders to the cloud. If a user has more than 5GB of data to sync, they must purchase additional space for Windows Backup to work and claim the free ESU enrollment. Users can also enroll in the program by paying $30 or redeeming 1K Microsoft Reward points for a year of updates.
