Back in July, Microsoft for the first time publicly announced the upcoming Windows 11 version 23H2 feature update release, also
hinting at its system requirements. This came hot on the heels of another major Windows 11 announcement, one where the tech giant informed about the end-of-service date for the original Windows 11, version 21H2, which is due later this year in
October 2023.
Earlier today, the company published a reminder about it while also explaining how it will proceed with the major update. Microsoft says that the October 2023 Patch Tuesday will be the final security update for 21H2. It has also added that the upcoming September non-security release will be its final non-security optional update.
As is usually the case with such announcements,
be it for Windows 10 or 11, the Redmond firm has said that user PCs still running Windows 11 21H2 will automatically be updated to a more recent supported version, which likely means 22H2 will be offered on such devices.
There is also a slight possibility of it being Windows 11 23H2 depending on the release date (
we know it's Q4), and also because 23H2 is going to a minor bump via an
enablement package (EKB).
You can find the announcement on Microsoft's health dashboard
website in the message center section.
