  1. Hey mate, absolutely no idea who your reseller is, but from our perspective this whole ESU thing has been chopped, changed, unconfirmed, committed to and reneged on so much by the vendor that there's been no funny business from a partner perspective, and no attempt to acquire ill gotten gains by delaying. Perhaps higher up the food chain, who knows, but certainly not at a partner level.
  2. Morning All! Spoken to our Licensing chaps. You don't have to buy all 3 years upfront, however... we all know our friends at Microsoft, and we all know how this ESU thing has played out so far, so the FUD is; in year 2 what if the cost surges again, and in year 3 what if it's increased again? So, the best advice I would give is, if you want to extend the usable lifespan of the device for 3 years, go for the lot now.
  3. Correct... Now £1, £2 & £4 (Yr 1,2,3) for Education.... Info landed late yesterday..
  4. On it mate will email you 👍
  5. Hi All, I have had a great customer approach me with a potential fix, I'll message it to you 🙂 Best, Col

  7. Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for Windows 10 | Microsoft Learn
  8. Yup, I can confirm this little surprise too. Windows 10 Extended Security Updates are now live. The Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program gives customers the option to receive security updates for PCs enrolled in the program. ESU is a paid program that provides individuals and organizations of all sizes with the option to extend the use of Windows 10 devices past the end of support date in a more secure manner They are licensed on a per device basis – 1 licence per device. Year 1 covers October 14th 2025 to October 2026. Year 2 covers October 14th 2026 to October 2027 and so on. A customer only needs to purchase 1 at a time, though all 3 exist on the price list for convenience and price transparency. They are cumulative, which means for example if a customer decides to enrol in year 3, they also need to order the year 1 and 2 SKUs, though for education and charity, year 1 is free. Windows 10 ESU Year 1 (2025 - 2026) £0 Windows 10 ESU Year 2 (2026 - 2027) £1 Windows 10 ESU Year 3 (2027 - 2028) £3 Best, Col

  11. Top man @Dos_Box and yes I have a (currently broken as the minute hand came off) Smiths Vintage Cushion LOL
  12. I absolutely adore a good watch. I amassed a collection of odd ones, nothing fancy nor pricey, mainly just ones I enjoyed the look of. Mrs Colin even bought me a nice watch box and all the tools to repair them and change the batteries etc. For a period I couldn't get enough of a brand I'd been following on Twitter/X called Omologato® (omologatowatches.com) and my goto fave is the Raching Chrono. However, I hurt my wrist being a plonker on a night out and wearing one hurt. Since then I've not used one. I rely on my phone now and have done for over 2 years. I'm tempted by Smart watches, and use a Google Pixel 7, so would likely go for a Pixel watch for stability.
