Original post from Microsoft
Today, October 13, 2026, Windows 11, version 24H2 Home and Pro, and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 have reached end of updates. The October 2026 monthly security update is the last update available for these editions. Devices running these editions will no longer receive monthly security and non-security preview updates containing protections from the latest security threats.
We recommend updating devices running Windows 11, version 24H2 Home and Pro editions to Windows 11, version 26H2 or Windows 11, version 25H2 to continue receiving monthly security and quality updates. Windows 11, version 24H2 Enterprise and Education remain supported until October 12, 2027. For more information, see the How to get the Windows 11 2026 Update video.
For devices running Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016, we recommend updating to the latest Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) release, Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024. Extended Security Updates (ESU) are also available for organizations that need additional time to complete their transition.
