I guess those who desperately want to stay with 23H2 could subscribe to 0Patch&#8217;s ESU plan, but honestly, by far the better option would be to bite the bullet and update Windows 11.<\/p>\n<p>If you stick with an older\/unsupported version while refusing to update to newer versions, you&#8217;ll eventually end up blocked from the update path altogether and be stuck with an unsupported Windows.<\/p>\n<p>I recently updated my Windows 11 23H2 system, and it went straight through to 25H2 (which is the latest build), skipping past 24H2 altogether. You&#8217;ll know from my earlier remarks in articles that I have been unimpressed with 24H2. I haven&#8217;t had anywhere near enough time yet to evaluate 25H2, but I certainly hope it&#8217;s an improvement over 24H2.<\/p><div id=\"daves-3533583647\" class=\"daves-single-post-in-content\" style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7205184075006101\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7205184075006101\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2700504761\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How To Identify Your Windows Version<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re uncertain of your Windows version:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open the Start menu and type <strong>winver\u00a0<\/strong>into the search field<\/li>\n<li>Click the result<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/winver-results.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-149481\" src=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/winver-results.jpg\" alt=\"winver-results\" width=\"639\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/winver-results.jpg 639w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/winver-results-350x299.jpg 350w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/winver-results-150x128.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll see your Windows version in the new window:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Windows-Version.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-149482\" src=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Windows-Version.png\" alt=\"windows-version\" width=\"466\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Windows-Version.png 466w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Windows-Version-350x322.png 350w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Windows-Version-150x138.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<div id=\"daves-2660182036\" class=\"daves-after-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7205184075006101\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7205184075006101\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"3225321574\" \ndata-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With all the hoo-hah surrounding Windows 10&#8217;s end-of-support, the fact that Windows 11 23H2 reached its end-of-support date on November 11th has gone by pretty much unnoticed.
