Starting Today Microsoft Confirms Free Windows Update

"The Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program is designed to keep
your current Windows 10 PC protected after support ends - helping you stay
secure during the transition."
<https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2025/06/24/stay-secure-with-windows-11-copilot-pcs-and-windows-365-before-support-ends-for-windows-10/>

"Starting today, individuals will begin to see an enrollment wizard through
notifications and in Settings, making it simple to select the best option
for you and enroll in ESU directly from your personal Windows 10 PC."

I only skimmed it but there seems to be a catch... 
Maybe others know more about this... and can elucidate the rest of us.
