Not upgraded to Windows 10 22H2 yet? Youll soon be forced to (or switch to

Description:
Ready or not, youll need to install 22H2 if youre running Windows 10 and 
still havent done so.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Windows 10 users who havent upgraded to the latest version of the operating 
system (22H2) will soon have to do so. 

Thats because Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 21H2 on June 13, and 
has issued a reminder to that effect (as Neowin reports). 

In other words, the June 2023 security update will be the final one for those 
on 21H2. After that, therell be no more updates at all, feature-wise, or 
security fixes. 

If you want further updates, youll need to be running Windows 10 22H2. 
Microsoft notes : As always, we recommend that you update your devices to the 
latest version of Windows 10, or upgrade eligible devices to Windows 11. 
Analysis: Final call for Windows 10 upgrades 

Naturally, Microsoft couldnt let go of an opportunity to get a quick plug in 
for upgrading to Windows 11 . Of course, if your PC doesnt meet the system 
requirements for Windows 11 , then you cant switch over to the latest OS. 
Furthermore, you might not want to anyway, due to some of the decisions 
Microsoft has made, particularly on the interface front with Windows 11. 

At any rate, this forced upgrade for Windows 10 users will be the last one. 
There wont be a newer version than 22H2 to upgrade to, as Microsoft recently 
announced that this is the last feature update for the older operating system 
.. Therell be no 23H2 or anything else  only monthly security updates from now 
on, which will continue to be provided for Windows 10 until the OS itself 
goes out of support (which will be in October 2025, so still a relatively 
long way off). 

All of which is very much angling to get folks to upgrade to Windows 11, with 
adoption not being everything Microsoft wouldve hoped for at this stage. 
Certainly not compared to how things went with Windows 10, which had racked 
up far more users than Windows 11 at the same point in its lifespan.
