Windows 11 23H2 Home and Pro editions are done with updates, officially entering the “you’re on your own” phase. Time to embrace Windows 11 25H2, or as Microsoft calls it, the “please don’t make us say we told you so” update.

Hot Take:

Microsoft’s love letter to procrastinators everywhere: “We’ve sent you three love notes begging you to upgrade, but alas, your Home and Pro editions are now on a one-way ticket to vulnerability city! But, hey, at least Enterprise and Education editions get to party a little longer.” So, if you’re still clinging to Windows 11 23H2 Home and Pro, it’s time to let go. Upgrade or face the wrath of unpatched cyber threats. Consider this your final boarding call to the land of updates and security patches!

Key Points:

– Windows 11 23H2 Home and Pro editions have reached the end of servicing as of November 11, 2025.
– Microsoft has been gently nudging users to upgrade with reminders since August.
– Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions have support until November 2026.
– Users are advised to upgrade to Windows 11 25H2, available from September 2025.
