[22h2] Windows 10 extended support licences

[Sheridan]

Oh believe me I don't want to be clinging onto W10, but with this transfer period it might just be enough to piggyback us to the new build, rather than scrape about pulling in refurb kit to try and make do

 

Ideally we'd have W11 everywhere but it seems I've landed into a place with very little investment historically

I only spotted mention of this via a schools week article (!) https://schoolsweek.co.uk/schools-will-get-discounted-updates-to-keep-windows-10-running/

 

Does anyone have any more detail on how these ESUs are delivered? We're stuck with WSUS because we use RM Unify and cannot hybrid join PCs. I'll check anyway with our Microsoft license provider if they have any more info.

You can deploy it via a few routes but if you're not using Hybrid easiest one is just re-activating them via script with the new key (think of it like a new MAK key unique to you for updates)
