Updates for windows 11 version 23H2

Eric Cockerill 0

I am using Windows 11 ver 23H2, I get frequent updates for ver 25H2 which obviously are not installed. I get very few updates for 23H2, should I be worried about this?

Windows 11 version 23H2 is out of support and so you won't receive updates for 23H2. Support ended Nov 2025.

To see if you can update to the latest version using the windows 11 Installation Assistant. Download Windows 11 - Microsoft

Hello Eric Cockerill,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

This is actually an expected behavior, and you shouldn't be worried about it.

Microsoft periodically released updates for the latest version of Windows, as of now it is 25H2. So even if you are staying in 23H2, 25H2 updates are still offered, and they could be repeatedly offered until installed. Since 23H2 is an old version, it will receive less updates compared to the other newer version. Per my knowledge, as of now, 23H2 has reached end of servicing, which means it will only receive security updates at most. User is expected to move to a newer version. I hope this clarifies.

Thanks for that information. It makes me ask if I should move to version 25H2 and if so how do I do that?

Hello Eric Cockerill,

As the other users also suggests, please move to 25H2 as soon as you have the chance to. 23H2 is already out of servicing, so it will soon no longer receive any direct updates.

Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Eric,

Please upgrade to 25H2, as 23H2 has long since reached the end of servicing.

Before doing so, follow the instructions under "How to manually refresh Windows 11 eligibility assessment" in the following article:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/experience/compatibility/check-if-a-device-meets-windows-11-system-requirements-after-changing-device-hardware

(Ignore the article's title)

Let me know once you complete the steps above.

If, after completing the above steps, 25H2 is not offered for your PC, we may use the ISO to do an in-place upgrade.
