It may be offered but if you want, you can upgrade manually to latest version 25H2.

On my PC, I still have the 24H2 version of Windows 11.
Will I be offered an update to a later version?

Run the PC health check app to make sure your computer is still meeting requirements: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/check-if-a-device-meets-windows-11-system-requirements-after-changing-device-hardware-f3bc0aeb-6884-41a1-ab57-88258df6812b
If so, go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11
Download and run the Installation Assistant tool, use the update option to get to the latest version.

2026-04-01T16:26:45.62+00:00 My PC is already running Windows 11 24H2. I wanted to know if an upgrade to 25H2 was planned.

2026-04-01T16:32:13.29+00:00 Most computers already received the 25H2 update.
If you haven't received it yet, it can be due to the computer not meeting requirements; this is why I am asking you to make sure your computer can support it. Microsoft has allowed a lot of computers to bypass requirements to run Windows 11 from some time ago, so your computer already being Windows 11 doesn't automatically mean it can continue to update.
Also, if your computer is enrolled in Intune via an organization account (Settings > Accounts > Access work or school), it can follow a different update schedule.
Also, if you have “Get latest updates ASAP” turned off, it can delay the rollout too.
This is why I gave you the link to upgrade if you want it now.

2026-04-01T17:29:31.3566667+00:00 I understand the source of the problem.
My PC is powerful enough, but its processor is a bit outdated.
I used a method to install Windows 11 anyway. I didn't use any special software, just a command line on the "setup.exe" program.
So I'll be stuck on the 24H2 version.

Q&A Assist2026-04-01T15:48:02.9766667+00:00 AI generated content. This question contains an answer created with AI from Q&A Assist. Learn moreYes. Windows 11, version 24H2 continues to be fully supported and will receive:
- Monthly security and non-security updates via Windows Update, as usual.
- A feature update to Windows 11, version 25H2 via an enablement package, provided the device meets the prerequisites.
Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2 share the same core OS and system files. New 25H2 features are already present but dormant in the latest monthly quality updates for 24H2. They are activated by the 25H2 enablement package (KB5054156). For devices that get updates directly from Windows Update, this enablement package is delivered automatically when the “Windows 11, version 25H2” feature update is offered and installed, with only a single restart required.
To receive the later version when it becomes available for the device:
- Keep Windows Update turned on.
- Install the latest cumulative updates for 24H2 so that prerequisites for the enablement package are met.
- When eligible, Windows Update will show and install “Windows 11, version 25H2,” which will move the device from 24H2 to 25H2.
Note: Windows 11, version 26H1 uses a different core than 24H2 and 25H2. Devices on 26H1 will not be able to update to the next annual feature update in the second half of 2026, but 24H2 and 25H2 devices remain on the normal annual feature update cadence.
