I'd like to extend my Windows 10 subscription for another year. Apparently, I need update KB5063709 for this. However, it hasn't been offered to me (yet).
My good laptop won't install Windows 11. It has an i7 processor. To extend Windows 10 security for another year, I need an update, and that's KB5063709. I can't find it. What should I do?
