Just another point of info, that even for those in the USA, you can get extended security updates for Windows 10 until October for free if you use an MS account to log into the computers you want extended support on. It's what I am doing for a couple of desktops I need for my work, while finishing the last bits of migration of my studio's computers to MacOS, Ubuntu and Debian.

but the big tech sector appears to be profoundly stupid so there's no way they could possibly plan out such a thing

  • if the only thing you're missing is new enough CPU (but you have TPM and Secure Boot), set HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup β†’ AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU=dword:1 and the Setup will run (it'll show a warning, but let you continue)
  • if you don't have TPM and/or Secure Boot, run setup.exe /product server, and it'll ignore everything

OTOH, as long as you pretend to be in EU, you can register to receive security updates for Windows 10 for free until October. Or you can use the scripts from massgrave.dev to activate ESU.
