Microsoft will end support for Windows 11 version 23H2 next month — here’s what you need to do

Following the recent end of support for Windows 10, Microsoft will also stop supporting a version of Windows 11 soon. Specifically, Windows 11 version 23H2 will no longer be supported after November 11, 2025.

Windows 11 version 23H2 launched in October 2023, and Microsoft only committed to supporting it for two years – a standard commitment for all regular versions of Windows 11. That support period has now ended. If you’re still using 23H2, you’ll need to update to the newer 24H2 or 25H2 version to continue receiving security updates and support.

It’s important to stay up to date with the latest versions to keep your computer secure and get the newest features and bug fixes. If you continue using Windows 11 version 23H2 after November 11th, your computer will be at risk from any newly discovered security problems.

If you’re still using an older version of Windows 11, like 23H2, Windows 11 has likely already offered you the latest updates (24H2 or 25H2). If you haven’t updated yet, it’s important to check Windows Update soon to keep your system supported. You can always upgrade to the newest Windows 11 version, even after older versions are no longer supported.

To find out which version of Windows 11 you have, search for “winver” and press Enter. A window will pop up showing your version number. If it says 24H2 or 25H2, you’re all set with the latest support. If it shows 23H2, 22H2, or 21H2, your version is outdated and won’t be supported for much longer.

When does Windows 11 version 23H2 support end?

They’ll stop providing updates – including crucial security patches, bug fixes, and new features – for consumer versions of this operating system on November 11, 2025. Essentially, after that date, PCs running this version will become increasingly vulnerable, so upgrading is highly recommended.

Can I upgrade from 23H2 to 25H2 to remain supported?

Great news! Windows 11 computers running version 23H2 are now officially supported and are eligible to upgrade to the newest version, 25H2.

What happens if I stay on Windows 11 version 23H2 after support ends?

If you continue using an unsupported version of Windows 11, you won’t get important security updates, bug fixes, or new features. This leaves your computer vulnerable to security threats as they are discovered. While your apps and drivers should generally keep working, it’s important to understand the risks of staying on an outdated version.
