Microsoft is currently rolling out Windows 11 25H2 as the previous version, Windows 11 24H2, nears the end of its support period on October 13. This date marks the end of maintenance for the Family, Pro, Pro Education, and Pro for Workstations editions, meaning these versions will no longer receive security updates or new features after that date. However, the Enterprise and Education editions will have an additional year of support, giving users more time to upgrade. Windows 11 25H2 has been available for eligible devices for several months, and Microsoft has started automatically deploying it via Windows Update for unmanaged Home and Pro editions. The update process is seamless, as both 24H2 and 25H2 share the same maintenance branch, and no hardware upgrades are needed for devices that can run 24H2. This ensures that users can transition smoothly without any disruption to their systems. Looking ahead, Windows 11 26H2 is already in development. The first ISO images for this version were released by the end of August, and a public release is expected this autumn. Microsoft is also set to host a major event dedicated to Windows on October 7, which may provide more details about the release schedule and features of upcoming updates. In the meantime, Windows 10 users can continue to receive free security updates until October 12, 2027. Microsoft has extended the Extended Security Update (ESU) program by one year, giving organizations more time to transition to Windows 11 while maintaining the security of their systems.
