Windows 11 has taken a significant step forward with its latest update, which will be automatically rolled out to users. In line with Microsoft’s standard practice, support for Windows 11 version 23H2 has officially concluded, following its initial release in 2023. To maintain system security and performance, Microsoft is transitioning users to Windows 11 version 25H2.
As Microsoft clarifies, “As of November 11, 2025, Home and Pro editions of Windows 11, version 23H2 have reached end of servicing.” However, users of the Enterprise and Education editions will continue to receive monthly security updates until November 10, 2026. It’s worth noting that some older PCs with outdated processors may not qualify for the upgrade to version 25H2. Fortunately, this limitation primarily affects older CPUs, so many users can expect a smooth transition.
For those currently operating on Windows 11 version 23H2, upgrading is essential to access ongoing security updates and bug fixes. Additionally, users can look forward to a suite of new features that will accompany the rollout of Windows 11 version 25H2, many of which will also be available in version 24H2.
What’s new in Windows 11 version 25H2?
For everyday users, the key takeaway is that Windows 11 versions 25H2 and 24H2 will share the same feature set. Upcoming enhancements, such as an improved Start menu, will be introduced in both versions. Additionally, an upgraded gaming experience is on the horizon for users of both Windows 11 version 25H2 and version 24H2.
If your PC is currently running Windows 11 version 23H2, you can anticipate the arrival of new features that were first introduced with Windows 11 version 24H2 after your upgrade. This previous update was substantial, offering both significant under-the-hood improvements and noticeable surface-level features.
