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.

    Thankyou chuck

    I will certainly give that a go. I did an iso for my pc with dvd player and a usb for the one without.

    Just got to get the nerve to do it.

    Regards

    Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 and go to the Windows 11 installation assistant. I clicked the Download Now button and downloaded the Windows 11 24H2 ISO. Using the imgburn freeware software, I burned a new bootable Windows 11 24H2 DVD. In my case I had a dual boot system with 1 SAMSUNG 960 NVME M.2 SSD disk with Windows 10 in it and another one with a SAMSUNG 980 NVME M.2 SSD which had the Windows 11 version 22H2 which was the one that hit the end of its life span and couldn’t be upgraded. I restarted that disk and when it hit the UEFI, I pressed F8 a few times to get it to show the screen so I could select which DVD disk player/burner that had the bootable Windows 11 disk in it with version 24H2. I selected INSTALL Windows 11 option and when it got to the screen that requested which disk to install Windows 11 on, I selected the NVME M.2 disk with Windows 10 on it. I continued through all the prompts for Windows 11 24H2 on it. It continued installing the newest Windows 11 and I upgraded that disk. It then installed all the newest operating system updates software. I then installed all the other software like antivirus and other programs that I had on the Windows 11 22H2 disk. It kind of takes a long time but luckily I had a backup disk with all my software on it and the registration IDs. I now have a bootable Windows 11 24H2 disk and everything is working great.

    Hopefully this writeup will help you. If you don’t have a DVD burner, I believe you can install the bootable Windows 11 24H2 on a thumb drive. from the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11  website.

    Thank you for this solution. It worked for me on my Mac with Parallels (Windows 11). For others, if you download on your Mac...while Windows can see the iso file in Downloads...you need to copy it to an actual folder on Windows to be able to Mount it and use it. Also...when using it, it gives the appearance that it's doing an Install versus an Upgrade. In my case...it actually just performed the upgrade and all my stuff was still there afterwards.
