57Gregy Posted Saturday at 09:18 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:18 PM That's good to know. MS has been trying to get me to enroll almost every time I start this computer. But, it's a reconditioned machine I got for $90 about a year ago, and who knows how long it will last, mechanically, that is. Still, 30 bucks ain't that much. Or a newer refurbished box which already has W 11? Under $300 and will/may last longer than the current computer. I have never bought a computer when I still had a working machine. It seems... wasteful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have almost never had just a single computer since moving from the Amiga to Winteletc....partly because there are always failures lurking, and I can't be without at least one to do the musical (and other artistic) stuff I require them for.

Starship Krupa Posted Saturday at 11:52 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:52 PM Wow, I didn't know that there was a free option. I'm already using OneDrive, so I suppose I qualify. One thing that the article mentions is that ESU or no, Windows 10 systems will still get Defender updates through 2028. Since the FUD I've seen centers on security, that would seem to address those issues. FUD runs deep, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you have a hotmail account (free or not), you have OneDrive... due to the timing of this, a pop-up just sprung up automatically last week asking me if I wanted to sign up to ESU for free. Simple things like using Bing as your default search engine will rack up reward points (the other free method)... having your MS account linked to your computer will make any Bing searches rack up points automatically just by being logged into Windows.
