Microsoft to force updates to Windows 11 25H2 for PCs with older OS versions (tomshardware.com)

Microsoft plans to force-update Windows 11 Home and Pro PCs from version 24H2 to the 25H2 release ahead of 24H2 end-of-support on October 13, 2026. The rollout will use an “intelligent” machine-learning system to decide when devices are ready, though Microsoft has not detailed the criteria used. Organizations managing devices via IT are currently excluded, and users can only delay installation for a limited time or update manually if eligible.
