Windows 11 SE was only available on a handful of purpose-built, low-cost PCs for education, including Microsoft's own Surface Laptop SE. It was never offered as a standalone product, and users couldn't download a version to try on a regular PC.

According to Microsoft, support for Windows 11 SE, including security updates and new features, will end in October 2026. The company also confirms that Windows 11 SE has already received its final major update, version 24 H 2, and will not be receiving version 25 H 2 later this year.
