Windows 7 hack to continue with support

Someone figured out a way to enable Extended Security Updates on all systems running it Microsoft Windows 7 system.

Support for Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system stops him January of 2020, but businesses can extend support for up to three years, depending on how much they pay.Windows 7

Small businesses will have to pay Microsoft up to $200 per device per year for extended support, while large enterprises up to $200 per user per year. The extended support program is already on and there are certain conditions that must be met.

Microsoft will not offer the Extended Security Updates program to Home editions, although some would pay Microsoft to extend support to Windows 7.

Users participating in the Extended Security Updates program should install an update that verifies that they are eligible to receive new updates after January 14, 2020. Extended security updates should be installed and they won't be able to be installed offline, at least not for now.

But users in the My Digital Life forum they discovered a way to bypass the control of Extended Security Updates. The bypass works with the trial release released by Microsoft, and we don't know how it will work with the actual updates the company will release next January at 2020 Patch Day.

Το μόνο που χρειάζεται να κάνετε είναι να κατεβάσετε ένα μικρό αρχείο από το φόρουμ My Digital Life και να το εξαγάγετε. Το πακέτο συμπεριλαμβάνει δύο that enable or disable bypass.

The hack allows support for all versions of Windows 7, even those that Microsoft does not want to support after January 14. In other words: Windows 2020 Home, Starter, or Ultimate versions will be able to receive updates distributed by the Extended Security Updates program.

How to test:

- install the 3 prerequisites:
KB4490628 -> KB4474419 -> reboot -> KB4523206

- install BypassESU

- install the ESU test update KB4528069
