Microsoft recently announced the upcoming end-of-service date for an older version of Windows 11. If you are still using Windows 11 22H2, released in October 2022, you will no longer receive security and preview updates after October 8, 2024. To continue receiving these updates, it is recommended to update your Windows 11 computer to the 23H2 version, which should be available as a pending update.
This notice affects Windows Home, Pro, and Business (or education) users. Microsoft will automatically update non-managed business computers to ensure they receive the latest updates. You have a 90-day window to update to the latest Windows version by accessing Settings > Windows Update > Check updates if you have an eligible PC.
There are rumors of a potential release of Windows 11 24H2 in October, so delaying the update to wait for the next version is not recommended. Delaying updates can leave your PC vulnerable to cyber threats, malware, and viruses. If you are already on Windows 11, updating to the latest version should not pose any issues. However, for Windows 10 users, ensure your PC meets the necessary system requirements before updating.
