Microsoft to End Support for Windows 11 Versions 21H2 and 22H2
What You Need to Know and How to Prepare
As the fall approaches, Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 11 versions 21H2 and 22H2 will end on October 8, 2024. This change will impact security updates and support for these versions, making it crucial for users and businesses to understand the implications and prepare accordingly.
What Does the End of Support Mean?
When Microsoft ends support for a Windows version, it ceases all security updates, feature enhancements, and technical support. Here’s what to expect:
Windows 11 Version 21H2: Support for this version has already ended for regular consumers. Only Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise SKUs will continue receiving updates until October 8, 2024.
Windows 11 Version 22H2: Support for Home and Pro editions will end on October 8, 2024. After this date, these versions will no longer receive security updates or feature improvements.
After October 8, 2024, devices running these versions will be at risk of security vulnerabilities without further patches or updates.
