Although version 25H2 was originally <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-25h2-released-force-install\/\">released on September 30, 2025<\/a>, the update has been an optional install for compatible devices. However, starting November 11, 2025, the company began the forced upgrade phase through the &#8220;Windows Update&#8221; settings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/release-health\/status-windows-11-23h2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dashboard health website&#8217;s status note<\/a> reveals that on November 11, 2025, computers still running Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 23H2 will automatically receive Windows 11 25H2. However, the company won&#8217;t automatically update managed devices running the Pro, Enterprise, and Education.<\/p>\n<p>The main reason is that Windows 11 23H2 reached the end of support on November 11, 2025, and if these devices don&#8217;t upgrade immediately, they will no longer receive security updates.<\/p>\n<p>If you still have a computer running version 23H2, you can upgrade to version 25H2 without going through Windows Update settings, the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-25h2-installation-assistant\/\">Installation Assistant<\/a>, or the ISO file. It&#8217;s important to note that regardless of the option you choose, the process will trigger a full reinstallation.<\/p>\n<p>Also, even though version 24H2 is still supported, it&#8217;s recommended to upgrade directly to version 25H2, because the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-25h2-vs-24h2\/\">two operating systems are identical<\/a>. The only difference is the version number and the support schedule.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">If you are ready to <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/upgrade-windows-11-23h2-to-25h2\/\">upgrade to version 25H2<\/a>, you can do this from <strong>Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Windows Update<\/strong>, turn on the <strong>&#8220;Get the latest updates as soon as they&#8217;re available&#8221;<\/strong> toggle switch, click the <strong>&#8220;Check for updates&#8221;<\/strong> button, and click the <strong>&#8220;Download &amp; install&#8221;<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to do anything if you want the update to install and apply automatically. In the coming days, the computer will upgrade automatically.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that automatically installing the new version doesn&#8217;t mean your device will upgrade immediately. Instead, the company plans to roll out the update gradually, ensuring that only devices with a good upgrade experience receive it first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re still on Windows 11 23H2, Microsoft will upgrade your PC to version 25H2 automatically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":182867,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,23],"tags":[2715,2726],"class_list":["post-182862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-windows","tag-windows-11","tag-windows-11-23h2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Windows 11 25H2 expands rollout with forced upgrades for 23H2 PCs - Pureinfotech<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Microsoft begins the force upgrade from Windows 11 23H2 to version 25H2 via the Windows Update settings as the OS reaches end of support.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-25h2-force-upgrade-23h2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Windows 11 25H2 starts upgrading 23H2 PCs to the new release without permission\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Microsoft begins the force upgrade from Windows 11 23H2 to version 25H2 via the Windows Update settings as the OS reaches end of support.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-25h2-force-upgrade-23h2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pureinfotech \u2022 Windows 10 &amp;
