Yesterday, Microsoft confirmed that it would be making access to Windows 10’s extended support updates (ESU) program completely free for users in the European Economic Area (EEA,) removing the requirement that would have forced users to sync their PC settings to the cloud via a Microsoft account for access to security updates.
Now, the company has outlined new requirements for its free ESU program in the EEA. While users will no longer be required to sync PC settings to the cloud, users will instead now be expected to authenticate with a Microsoft account at least once every 60 days, or risk having access to extended security updates revoked on their PC.
