Windows 11 general users should check quickly. The 24H2 Home Edition and Professional Edition will stop updating on October 13. Bug fixes, time zone updates, security updates and technical support will no longer be provided. Microsoft also recommends that users who are still on 24H2 upgrade to the latest 25H2 version as soon as possible.

General users will be withdrawing from the market 24H2

Windows 11 24H2 will be launched in 2024. The Home version, Pro professional version, Pro Education professional education version, and Pro for Workstations professional version will all end update support on October 13, 2026. In addition, 24H2 is also the last supported version of Windows 11 SE.

Please read on...

For eligible devices, Microsoft will automatically push the latest version 25H2. Users can still decide when to restart or temporarily postpone the update. If you have previously received an upgrade notification but have not installed it yet, you may wish to process it as soon as possible.

Can it still be used without upgrading? The real risk is here

It should be noted that stopping the update does not mean that the Windows 11 24H2 computer will suddenly be unable to boot or be used. What is really affected is the subsequent system maintenance. Without bug fixes and security updates, if new vulnerabilities or security threats appear in the future, official patches will no longer be available, and the risk of long-term use will gradually increase.

If you want to confirm the version of Windows 11 you are currently using, you can go to "Settings" → "System" → "About" to check; if you want to check whether there are available updates, you can go to "Settings" → "Windows Update" → "Check for Updates".
