■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 2 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

Microsoft announced that Windows 11 24H2 Home and Pro editions will reach end of support in three months. Users on these versions must upgrade to continue receiving security updates and patches.

Microsoft's support deadline applies to Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 24H2, ending a support cycle that began with the version's release. The company also confirmed that Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 will reach end of support simultaneously. Users running affected versions have 90 days to upgrade their systems. Microsoft recommends moving to the latest Windows 11 version to maintain access to critical security updates, bug fixes, and new features. The deadline underscores Microsoft's shift toward more frequent update cycles for consumer Windows versions. Enterprise users on LTSB editions receive longer support windows, but even that legacy version is now reaching its final phase. Users should check their system settings to verify their current Windows version and plan upgrades accordingly before the support window closes.
