      ESU is a paid service for enterprise. They didn’t even offer ESU for windows 7 home.

      Windows 7 pro ESU per device cost $50 for 1 year, $100 for the next year, $200 for the final year.

      Windows 7 enterprise was per device 1 year $25, second year $50, and 3rd year $100.

      You can however bypass the win11 hardware checks to upgrade unsupported devices.
