Overview

• Now in the Windows Insider Release Preview Channel, 25H2 is expected to reach general availability in the coming weeks, likely late September or October pending testing.
• The update ships as an enablement package, delivering a quick, single restart install for devices already on 24H2.
• Sharing 24H2’s servicing branch, Microsoft expects full app and game compatibility when upgrading.
• The release removes legacy components including PowerShell 2.0 and the WMIC command-line tool.
• For 24H2 users, it will show up as an optional Windows Update until that version’s support ends, after which eligible Home and Pro PCs will be upgraded automatically.
