Windows 10 Extended Security Updates: Year 2 ends

Windows

Who is affected: Organisations paying for Windows 10 ESU Year 2. Year 3 is the last year available and runs to October 10, 2028.
What to do: Decide before renewal which remaining Windows 10 devices justify a Year 3 purchase.
Set a migration date for every remaining Windows 10 device and track it.
Check that ESU keys are activated on the devices that need them, not just purchased.
