Windows 10 gets a version of the program that extended updates for Windows 7.

Can the updates just be pirated?

Im sure people will, but corporations won’t and longterm extended security updates are aimed at corporations that don’t want to upgrade a working system.

“Pirating”, as in downloading from an unverified source, doesn’t sound like the best idea for security updates, might as well download malware directly.

If there is a way to trick Win10 into downloading the official updates, then maybe.
