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.

    Martin.

    If your hardware is old then it may not get the 24H2 update. MS have restricted the update on non supported hardware.

    Sorry I don't. The webpage shows 24H2 for ARM so I would assume an in-place upgrade would update to 24H2. I fit's not doing that there is no other option, so far as I know.

    Perhaps MS are holding off updating ARM at the moment. That process should work and does for windows devices.

    Hi myroslav

    Only thing I can suggest is see Bernard’s reply and if you can do the iso ,maybe try that.

    But our motherboard may be new enough just to update the bios.

    Mine are too old

    Regards

    M

    Since so many people are still asking the same question and I have managed to update successfully, I will summarize things here.

    1. You have an outdated version of Windows 11 (hell yeah, this is new to me too). If your version of Windows is not 24H2 (which is most likely would be, since you are reading this thread), then go to the next step
    2. If you really want to check what version of Windows you are running, go to Command Prompt and type WINVER
    3. If you want to download the latest Windows 11, go here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 

    For me, even downloading it will not work but instead, I had to check if my PC was compatible with Windows 11 (silly that way but just do as instructed)

    1. There will be instructions to check your Windows 11 for compatibility with Windows 11. Just follow those steps and you will be able to run the ISO file in step 3.
    2. If you are not sure how to run step 3, you need to know how to MOUNT ISO files. Google is your friend, or nowadays, I use Perplexity.
