Your Windows 11 system needs updating before November 2025 to avoid losing security updates and technical support. Specifically, Windows 11 Home and Pro version 23H2 will end support on November 11, 2025, meaning it will no longer receive crucial security fixes after that date. To ensure continued security, users should update to the latest supported version, which is Windows 11 version 25H2, as soon as possible.
Why You Need to Update
- Security Risks:Running an unsupported version of Windows leaves your system vulnerable to malware, viruses, and other cyber threats because it won't receive the latest security updates and patches.
- Technical Support:Once a version reaches its end of support, you will no longer be able to get technical assistance from Microsoft.
- New Features:Updating to version 25H2 also provides new features and performance improvements.
How to Update
1. Check Your Version:
- Right-click the Start menu and select "Search".
- Type and select "PC Health Check" from the results.
- In the PC Health Check window, click "Check now" to see your current version and system eligibility for Windows 11.
2. Update to 24H2:
- Go to"Settings" and navigate to the Windows Update page.
- If you see an option to download and install Windows 11, version 25H2, proceed with the update.
- Microsoft also automatically installs version 25H2 on compatible devices.
What if You Don't Update?
- Your device will still work, but it will become more susceptible to security risks.
- You will not receive any further security patches or technical assistance from Microsoft after the support deadline.
