A couple of days ago, I purchased a new Dell Inspiron 15 3520. It came with Windows 11 Home and 16GB RAM. I requested to have the windows version upgraded from Home to Pro and the RAM upgrade to 32GB.
Everything appeared to go as planned until yesterday when I noticed the above error message, Get the newer version of Windows to stay up to date, followed by Your version of windows has reached the end of service. I clicked on "Check for update" and watched the familiar spinning as it loaded, nothing. I clicked it again, same result. After a few google searches, I realized this was nothing new. Apparently, there are windows build that's being released, even with new computers, that have this problem. Frankly, I was very surprised, this was a new Windows 11 operating system from Microsoft.
The solution is to download, from microsoft.com (don't click on any other links) the actual build that will fix the issue. The amount of time it will take depends on the speed of your Internet connection. I had no problems with my files or anything else. NOTE: It still forced me to verify my hardware supported Windows 11, so when you see that message, just download the PC Health Check and follow the steps.
Here’s the official Microsoft download link that fixes it 👇
If you’re already have Windows 11 installed
Use this link:
👉 https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
Choose “Windows 11 Installation Assistant.”
Important notes:
✔ This resolves the “end of service” error
✔ Files and programs are kept
⏳ Can take 30–90 minutes, longer over slow Internet
🔌 Keep your laptop plugged in
💾 Backup important files first (always smart)
