Earlier today, Microsoft released the November 2025 Patch Tuesday update for Windows 11 under KB5068861 (for 25H2/24H2) and KB5067112 (for 23H2), and also fixed the Windows 10 ESU enrollment bug with KB5071959.
This was also the last patch update for Windows 11 23H2, as it is no longer supported by the company. This applies to Home and Pro editions, but Enterprise and Education editions of the version will continue to be supported till November 10 of 2026.
As such, Microsoft is encouraging users to move to Windows 11 version 25H2 (the Windows 11 2025 update) to "try the latest Windows innovations." You can do so by navigating to the Windows Update section inside the Settings menu and selecting "Check for updates".
When the company launched the update last month in early October 2025, it shared a list of new features that are coming to Windows 11 with the new version. If you are not aware, version 25H2 is mostly based on 24H2, which is why it could be easily upgraded with the enablement package eKB5054156. Thus you can also enable all such features on 25H2 and 24H2 using a simple hack. You can find the guide in this article.
Regardless, Microsoft says that it will automatically push the new feature update out to Windows 11 23H2 devices as long as they are eligible to receive it, which essentially means if you are running the OS on an unsupported PC, you will not get Windows 11 25H2.
Microsoft writes: "As of November 11, 2025, Home and Pro editions of Windows 11, version 23H2, have reached end of servicing. ... Devices running Home and Pro editions of Windows 11, version 23H2 that are not managed by IT departments will receive the Windows 11, version 25H2 update automatically."
Interestingly, this is also the end of the road for many systems that had been running Windows 11 23H2 or some older version of Windows 11 on a very old unsupported PC. That is because Windows 11 24H2 and likewise 25H2 can not be installed on processors that lack SSE4.2 and PopCnt. Such devices will have to remain on Windows 11 23H2. Thankfully, most systems post-2008 have those instructions so it should not be a big issue.
