Just noticed (by accident) that 2H23 EOLs this November. Microsoft more aggressive?

Windows 11 Home and Pro - Microsoft Lifecycle

Windows 11 Home and Pro follows the Modern Lifecycle Policy.
learn.microsoft.com

So not long after I manage to completely get off Win 10 2H22, I will need to get off Win 11 2H23. Will MS sell you another year of 2H23 support?? Is Microsoft getting more aggressive about shorter support periods?

I wonder what this portends for almost mandatory adoption of CoPilot. And adoption of Windows 12 once it launches.

“23H2”

Click to expand...

Nope.

It’s as Burton linked you. Same for every update. 24H2 will be the same when 25H2 appears, you’ll have until 12 months after 25H2, at which point 24H2 is buried.

Unless 25H2 is bypassed for Windows 12. (Highly unlikely)

W10 22H2 was the last stop for W10. W11 is (so far) rolling forward with an annual refresh since 2021.

Also, there were 2 updates a year but Win10 stopped with only one and Win11 has only once a year.
