Microsoft Explains Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Setup Process -- .com
Summary
Microsoft this week described installation instructions for volume licensing users of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to get Extended Security Updates (ESU) activated on PCs. The ESU program provides access to "Critical"- and "Important"-rated security patches for Windows 7 SP1 for three years beyond its coming Jan. 14, 2020 end-of-life date. The volume licensing program has been defined previously by Microsoft as just requiring five or more users when purchasing software use rights. Earlier this month, Microsoft had announced that its previous stipulation that volume licensing was a requirement to use the ESU patch option was dropped. ESU setup on PCs typically requires having an open Internet connection, although Microsofts Volume Activation Management Tool can be used to send scripts to disconnected devices.
