Your version of windows 11 has reached the end of service. click to download a newer version of windows 11 to stay supported.

Can someone help me out here? After I updated my Windows software on my laptop this evening, I got a message saying "Your version of Windows has reached the end of service". This really confuses me because I'm on Windows 11 and I got a new laptop literally 2 months ago and I barely even used 10-15% of it's total memory space on my C Drive.

Does anyone know what's going on here? Does this mean I won't be able to get security updates for my Windows on my new laptop? Am I going to have to pay more money just to get Windows to work properly and stay up-to-date? I'm feeling very concerned.

    No. That’s Virginia in the United States. Hopefully that individual will get your computers up-to-date and working again.

    You can go to this page 10 link of this subject where I did a large write up on what to do next. I got a little wordy on the write up but hopefully it wasn’t too technical.

    You are indicating that you only have 60 MB (megabytes) for C drive? You must have mistyped it. Minimum is 64GB (gigabytes)..

    I live in VA so if there is a way to send a Direct Message (DM) to me on this Microsoft site and you live close, I will give you my address and/phone number. I don’t mind helping others. The other thing you can do is call the Best Buy Geek Squad or a computer repair shop near you, they can fix your system completely. I have no idea what the cost would be though but I’m sure it won’t be more than 1-2 hundred. Geek Squad also has a way to pay a one time annual charge for their service and they could even come out to your house, depending if you have a Best Buy near you.

    I know this is getting frustrating so keep trying. It can easily be fixed.

    Good luck. Let me know if you need further assistance.

    good morning chuck

    further to your instuctions...

    it says it has TPM 2.0 and ready for use? win11 pro version 21h.

    it still says in update

    I have copied all c drive to the drive !

    it has 1.3tb and c has 60mb so is that ok.

    i was unable to find how to backup or where with this version of win11 ???

    so now it just says missing important security files .

    i cant find how to do a clean install.

    perhaps i should just leave it.

    regards

    martin
