Still on Windows 11 23H2? Act soon! Your update deadline is almost here

Here is a 194-word summary of the news article: Microsoft has announced that Windows 11 version 23H2, released in October 2023, will soon reach its end of support for Home and Pro editions. Starting November 11th, 2025, regular security updates will no longer be available for Windows 11 23H2, leaving unupgraded systems vulnerable to cyber attacks. This will affect millions of users worldwide, although Microsoft has not provided exact figures. Commercial editions, such as Enterprise and Education, will continue to receive mainstream support until November 10th, 2026. Windows 11 22H2 is also reaching end of support on October 14th, 2025, and Windows 11 SE will expire completely in 2026. Microsoft is urging users to upgrade to Windows 11 24H2, which has been available since October 2024 and brings improved AI integration, enhanced Copilot features, and stronger security features. However, some devices may encounter "safeguard holds" that block the update due to hardware or software conflicts. Users should check their update status and try to resolve any issues. Alternatively, users with incompatible hardware can consider switching to Linux platforms such as Plasma Desktop, which often run well on older devices and offer long-term updates.
