At Microsoft, operating systems come and go. Launched five years ago in the hope of braking the craze for Chromeos, Windows 11 will disappear next year.
Windows 11 se won’t be anymore. This declination of Windows 11 intended for the world of education will no longer be supported by Microsoft As of October 2026. The next update for Windows 11, 24h2, will not be delivered for this OS, while the publisher will no longer provide technical assistance or security corrections from next year.
Due to lack of success, Windows 11 retires on tiptoe
Windows 11 PCs will of course continue to operate after the fateful date, but Microsoft recommends switching to a device under another edition of Windows 11 in order to continue to take advantage of the software support and the fixes. To avoid throwing them in the trash, which would be very unhappy, these machines will certainly be able to afford a second life by installing Linux!
For Microsoft, Windows 11 is one more failure in the litany of special editions of its operating system which did not hold the shock (remember Windows RT, Windows 10s or the Windows 10x). This version had been launched in November 2021 in the hope of competing with the boom of Chromebook in schools. These cheap PCs running on Chrome OS, Google’s OS, cut deales in Apple and Windows in the very lucrative education sector.

It was for Microsoft to offer a bone without frills, without distraction and secure. Unlike Windows 10S, which was also intended for education but which was limited to Microsoft Store to install apps, Windows 11 can accommodate third -party software from elsewhere, but only those approved by admins.
If Windows 11 is very close to its big brother, Microsoft has made some arrangements: by default, the apps open full screen and you can only place two windows next to each other. Widgets have been removed to avoid distractions.
A handful of manufacturers have embarked on this adventure, including the usual Asus, Acer and Dell. Microsoft gave the example with the Laptop SE surface, which had the main advantage of being very affordable at $ 249.
