Microsoft gives Windows 11 users a 3-month notice: upgrade to 23H2 now.

Microsoft has just warned Windows 11 users that  their  installation  will  soon  become  unsupported  if  they  do  not  have  the latest version of the  operating  system,  which  is  23H2,  which  means  that  important  security updates will no longer be  provided.
 
  In a 90-day reminder  that,  as the name suggests, comes three months  before  the  end  of  support,  Microsoft has  informed  Windows 11 Home and Pro users  that  very  soon  they  will  no longer be safe to stay on Windows 11 22H2. The exact date  you  should  mark  on  your calendar as the official end of support is October 8, 2024.
 
  Furthermore,  enterprise  (or education) users  who  are  still on 21H2 (the first  incarnation of Windows 11) will also  not  receive  support (that deadline  has  already passed for consumers, in case you were wondering).
 
 
  In short,  it's  Windows  23H2,  or the highway,  in  October  2024,  so  you've  been warned. Microsoft notes:  "The  upcoming October 2024 security update,  which  will  be released on October 8, 2024, will be the last  available  update  for these editions. After  that  date, devices running these editions will no longer receive monthly security  or  preview updates  that  provide  protection  against  the latest security threats. " 
 
 
  Analysis:  Update  now  or  soon,  or  you'll  (maybe)  be forced  to
  We say  that  Windows 11 22H2 users  should  update  now  to the latest  version,  i.e.  23H2,  but it  may  not be the  latest  version  of the  current  operating  system.  in  October 2024.  Keep  in  mind  that the 24H2 update is rumored to arrive in September, so  it  will  probably  be  available  in October,  although  this  is  not  certain.
 
 
  So  some  people  may  want to  wait  a  bit  longer  and  maybe  think  about  jumping straight  into  24H2.  Be  that  as  it  may,  you  need to do something in October, as you  can't  stay  in  22H2 (or  even  21H2) and keep your PC  safe. As Microsoft  notes,  without security  updates  you  are  vulnerable to  unpatched  loopholes  and potential exploits that  could  be  exploited  by the bad guys  out  there.
 
  To  keep  non-updaters  safe,  Microsoft  usually  forces  updates  (in  this  case  to  23H2)  in these  situations  after  the  deadline,  although  the company only mentions implementing this  option  for  "commercial  devices  running  Windows  11"  in  its  support  document,  not managed by IT departments.
