To help keep you protected and productive, Windows Update will automatically initiate a feature update for Windows 10 consumer devices and non-managed business devices that are at, or within several months of, reaching end of servicing. This keeps your device supported and receiving monthly updates that are critical to security and ecosystem health. For these devices, you will be able to choose a convenient time for your device to restart and complete the update.

Windows 11 version 22H2 is the latest & last version of Windows 10. Microsoft does not plan to release additional feature updates or new versions for this OS. This means support for Windows 10 version 22H2 will continue until October 2025.

As you could expect, Microsoft recommends users with compatible devices to go with Windows 11 instead of using Windows 10.
