    First, this offer is being rolled out over time so some may already see it, others will have to wait. Note it does not appear on my system either. So don't panic - yet.

    Second, note the prerequisites:
    • You must have administrator access
    • You must be signed in with a Microsoft account
    • Your system should be fully updated to the latest version of Windows 10

    Here's a couple of questions:

    1: How can I see IF I have already goten the extended life on a computer? (I have two, one of which is an "insider", one of which is not)
    2: How can I tell if I AM signed in on a Microsoft Accunt? I'm pretty sure I am on both but can't find anywhere to substantiate that supposition.

    Thanks!

    1. I don't know. But I do know I have not yet been offered it. Fortunately there's still time.

    2. Open Settings then Accounts

    Click "Your info" on the left side

    If you see an email address under your user name with "Manage by Microsoft account" and "Sign in with a local account instead" links under it, you using a Microsoft account.

    If you see the words Local Account under your user name, and a "Sign in with a Microsoft account instead" link under it, you are using a local account.
