r/sysadmin on Reddit: Anyone else just realize Windows 11 23H2 is about to go end-of-support?
November 12, 2025 -

I somehow missed that Microsoft announced the end-of-support for Windows 11 version 23H2 (Home & Pro) back in August 2025 — it completely flew under my radar.

After checking our environment, it turns out this affects a noticeable part of our fleet. I really hope I’m not the only one who missed this stealth announcement.

To all of you who caught it early and already have everything patched and polished: You absolute legends. Please, feel free to bask in the misery of the rest of us scrambling to catch up.

And to everyone else who’s just finding out now — you’re not alone. Grab a coffee, open Intune or PDQ, and let’s suffer together in good company.

22h2 itself will lose support, not windows 11 as a whole. Either that or I'm reading your statement wrong. More on reddit.com

Do I keep using Windows 10 EOL or do I force install windows 11?
7th gen will work with W11 but it requires bypassing. Although some people on 7th gen were able to auto upgrade to it in the past or do clean install should work. Personally I have done the bypass with intel 6th gen and performance similar to W10. The downside is you need to manually install feature pack once a year. More on reddit.com

Warning: Windows 11 Pro 23H2 Is Out of Support - Many Devices Didn’t Upgrade
When any of these conditions occur, the device remains on Windows 11 Pro indefinitely, despite organisational assumptions that it is already running Enterprise. Most organisations don’t have a process to validate OS edition drift. And while this issue has existed across multiple Windows versions, the End-of-Life of Windows 11 Pro 23H2 has now turned a long-standing blind spot into a more urgent operational risk.
