Microsoft will offer free Windows 10 extended security updates in Europe www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/micr…

Microsoft will offer free extended security updates for Windows 10 users in the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and all 27 European Union member states.

This announcement follows Microsoft’s statement in June that home users will be able to enroll in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program at no additional cost, using their Microsoft Rewards points or by enabling Windows Backup.

The company took this decision following pressure from Euroconsumers, a large Luxembourg-based consumer protection organization that represents a consumer base of 1.5 million households across Europe and Brazil.
