    That error usually indicates you are running version 22H2 or 23H1 of Windows 11 which are no longer in support, in the updates section of the settings app, are you not automatically offered the 24H2 or 25H2 update?

    If not, click your Start Button, then just type msinfo and press Enter, please provide a screenshot of the resulting System Information window.

    When Windows shows a message that the version has reached the end of service, it must be updated to a newer supported version to keep receiving security updates.

    Follow these steps:

    1. Run Windows Update
      • Open Start > Settings > Update & Security (or Windows Update on Windows 11).
      • Select Windows Update.
      • Click Check for updates.
      • Download and install all offered updates. This should move the device to the latest supported version of Windows 10 or Windows 11 for which it is eligible.
    2. If updates do not install or no feature update appears
      • There might be issues such as driver problems, not enough free disk space, or other errors blocking the update.
      • Use the built‑in troubleshooters and guidance in:
        • Troubleshoot problems updating Windows to fix common update issues.
      • If still blocked, consider these options:
        • Use the Windows 10 Update Assistant (for Windows 10 devices) to install the latest version.
        • Reinstall Windows using installation media to return the PC to a cleaner state and then run Windows Update again.
        • Take the PC to a qualified repair technician for help updating.
    3. If the device cannot support newer versions
      • Some older devices do not meet the minimum hardware requirements for current Windows versions and cannot be updated further. In that case, the device will no longer receive security updates and will be more vulnerable to security threats.
      • Consider moving to a new Windows 11 PC that supports current updates and features.
    4. If the device meets requirements but is still on an old release
      • For older Windows 10 releases (such as 1507, 1511, 1607, 1703, 1709, 1803), Microsoft may show a notification and offer to update automatically using the Update Assistant. Accept the update, keep the PC plugged in, and restart when prompted.

    Keeping the device on a supported version ensures it continues to receive security fixes and other updates.
