[Hidden-tech] seeking assistence on Windows 10 update

[Jan Werner]

Microsoft has published the requirements for extending security to 
Windows 10 systems for one year and you can get it for free if you use 
Windows Backup to back up your PC to Microsoft's cloud.

The details are here:

Note that the free option requires that your PC be connected to a 
Microsoft account and have OneDrive active (at least at the time of 
enrollment).

Note also that data backed up to OneDrive will probably be used by 
Microsoft for Ai training, which shouldn't be of great concern to most 
people, but if you are really concerned about it, take note.
