Someone discovered a way to enable Extended Security Updates on all systems running Microsoft's Windows 7 operating 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.
Small businesses will have to pay Microsoft up to 200 dollars per device per year for extended support, while large businesses up to 200 dollars per user per year. Extensive support is already available and there are certain conditions that must be met.
Microsoft will not offer the Extended Security Updates program to Home users, though 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 for the λήψη νέων ενημερώσεων μετά τις 14 Ιανουαρίου 2020. Οι εκτεταμένες ενημερώσεις ασφαλείας θα πρέπει να εγκατασταθούν online και δεν θα μπορούν να εγκατασταθούν except connection, at least not for now.
But users in the My Digital Life forum they discovered a way to bypass the Extended Security Updates check. The workaround works with the test update released by Microsoft, and we don't know if it will also work with the actual updates that Microsoft will release. company it will then be released on Patch Day January 2020.
All you need to do is download a small file from the My Digital Life forum and export it. The package includes two scripts 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.
