It’s free to do, I think at one point it was $30 but now it’s free, so long as you’re updated to the most recent version. It’s worth a shot if it’s not in your means yet to switch over to a foss alterative.

I wish I could get the extended support MAS script and stuff to work. My PC won’t update to this year’s W10 24H2(?) update unless I do a full install, I think. Tried every other update method and I really don’t want to have to bother with that.
The final version of Windows 10 is 22H2. There is no 24H2. That’s a Windows 11 feature build. Windows 10 has been feature locked since late 2022 basically. It’s just been security updates which now end without ESU. (Specifically with the final security update installed your version should read 10.0.19045.6456 though major version will still say 22H2)
That said if something is badly broken you should be able to do an in-place upgrade install of Windows 10 from the last released version iso which you can find linked on the mas site. You just make sure it is one of the home edition ISOs then run it from within Windows, should be an option for upgrade or repair or something and you do that rather than clean install (which would wipe your drive).
I have seen some cases where OEM’s install broken versions of Windows 10 Home that need this kind of in-place upgrade install to use MAS.
Be careful and read what the prompts say during the process to avoid any mistakes. Your data should be safe as long as you do an upgrade or repair install.
I’ll give it another try. Thanks.
