I noticed that my VM shows a message stating "your Windows version has reached the end of service" in the system update, and I'm unable to upgrade further. Can you help me fix this issue so I can update my Windows?

If your Windows version has reached the end of service, here's what to do:

Check for Updates: Go to Settings > Windows Update and click Check for updates. If no updates are found, proceed with the next steps.

Use Windows Update Assistant:

• Download it from Microsoft's website.
  • Run it to upgrade to the latest version.
  Download the ISO:

  - Visit the same link and download the Windows 11 ISO.
  
     - Mount it and run `setup.exe` to start the upgrade. Choose to keep your files.
  
     **Reset Update Components**:
  
        - Open Command Prompt as Admin and run these commands:
  
        ```
        cmd
        Copy code
        net stop wuauserv
  

net stop cryptsvc ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old net start wuauserv net start cryptsvc ```

              - Restart and check updates again.
              

If these don’t work, reach out to Microsoft Support.
