Overview

  • Version 25H2 (Build 26200.6584) is available now as an ISO, through the Media Creation Tool, and via Windows Update for devices opted in to receive updates early.
  • Upgrading to 25H2 resets support, extending coverage by two years for Home/Pro and three years for Enterprise/Education, while 23H2 Home/Pro has reached end of support.
  • Enterprise rollout via WSUS begins on October 14, and Windows Autopatch and Microsoft 365 channels can access 25H2 immediately.
  • The milestone emphasizes security architecture with minimal visible changes on 24H2 devices and retires legacy components including PowerShell 2.0 and WMIC.
  • A separate 24H2 preview update (KB5065789) adds AI actions in File Explorer and Copilot document summarization, rolls out over one to three weeks, prepares Secure Boot certificates for June 2026, and notes a DRM issue affecting some Blu‑Ray/DVD apps.
