Microsoft offered me protection for another year and it didn't cost me nothing. But I read they have a paid tier as well for support.

    the paid scam is 30usd for a year of extended updates.

    (the first year only, i'm guessing.. if they did it like win7, the price will ramp-up year 2 and again year 3).

    Granted it's more effort but I recommend switching to LTSC at this point instead.

    I think there's a way of converting (first change to Enterprise, then LTSC) existing installs. I've only gone as far as Enterprise with MassGrave

    I couldn't say. I was having some recurring issues on my Pro installation so I was already set on doing a fresh install at the time so I downloaded the necessary ISO from MassGrave, backed up my stuff to an external and pulled the pin. There were some teething issues such as a couple of things I use needing the MS Store and I'm probably one of the few people who actually like Gamebar so figuring out how to install them to a version of Windows that wasn't intended to have them was an interesting situation but I got there in the end.
