While we continue to talk about the possible launch date of Windows 12, Microsoft intervenes on older versions of its operating system by officially discontinuing technical support so that users move to the most recent iterations. It happened more recently with the end of support for Windows 10 21H2, confirmed in mid-June 2023 and which leaves the 22H2 version the only one of Windows 10 actively supported by Redmond technicians. But now, the end of life of Windows 11 is also approaching.
Well yes, since Microsoft started warning users of the End of support for the original version of Windows 11.
Windows 11 21H2 will no longer be supported soon
The same US company led by Satya Nadella has begun to spread a system notification for those who are still using Windows 11 21H2, which is the first iteration of the latest generation OS for PCs released in the second half of 2021. After two years, this version will reach the end of its life cycle October 10, 2023. What exactly does that mean? That Microsoft developers will no longer provide cumulative updates with fixes, security patches, and new features.
End of support will therefore affect the following OS versions: Windows 11 Home, Pro, Pro per Workstation e Pro Education, exclusively 21H2. Home and commercial users running one of these editions will need to visit the Windows Update tab and upgrade to version 22H2, thus also preparing for 23H2 arriving later this year after Moment 3.
