ESU For Windows 10 Still Won't Work.

[DrZoidberg]

I'm still talking with Microsoft about getting ESU to work on Win10. After tomorrow if they can't get it to work, which would be like the 6th appointment with them they say they will have exhausted all options short of reformatting hard drive and starting entirely from scratch, which entirely defeats the purpose of protecting my data. And in any case isn't something I'd need tech support for. I need there help with technical nuances that I don't know anything about. Did there come a point when Windows got so convoluted that their own technical support can't figure it out?

Instead of waiting for them, you can try resetting the laptop but make sure you choose to keep your apps and files.

It's a desktop. And they've reinstalled Windows twice already.

Then it sounds like its a microsoft issue.

Yeah, probably best to just reinstall Win10 every time things get buggy over next few years and not worry about their security update which ends in a few months anyway? The guy said there were like thousands of files he would need to install manually which would take months that a clean install would do all at once. All I know is my updates worked fine until October. I wish they could just send me a file containing all updates without trying to revamp their updates system.

Better yet, just buy a new pc with windows 11 on it lol. The ESU program only lasts a year anyway.
