Windows feature updates are provided by Microsoft as significant upgrades to the Windows operating system. They provide major versions, such as Windows 11 24H2, that roll up security updates and bug fixes along with feature updates and performance enhancements.

Feature updates also include Windows 10 to Windows 11 update options. Many companies still have Windows 10 in the environment. Microsoft is removing support for security updates to Windows 10 on October 15, 2025. Windows 11 is the current major release of Microsoft’s workstation operating system. Companies need help getting their Windows 11-capable devices upgraded. This upgrade can have a significant impact on the corporate environment, especially when content has to be delivered across Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Tenable Patch provides a solution to upgrade old Windows to the June release of Windows 11 24H2 (10.26100.4349). The oldest operating system that can be upgraded is Windows 10 2004 (10.0.19041).

All systems to be upgraded must meet the minimum requirements of Windows 11 24H2. For more information review the requirements here: Windows 11 Specs and System Requirements | Microsoft Windows.
