Windows Version Manager

Know where every PC stands and move it forward safely: Windows edition, version and build with support end dates, Windows 11 upgrade readiness with the fixes (TPM, Secure Boot, GPT), pin or choose the next feature update, a longer rollback window, an in-place repair upgrade that keeps apps and files, and a simple fleet view for a home or small office.

The problem

Windows 10 reached end of support in October 2025 and consumer Extended Security Updates ended on 13 October 2026; Windows 11 Home and Pro versions are serviced for only 24 months each. Most people do not know which version they run, when it stops getting security fixes, or why their PC 'cannot run Windows 11' when often only TPM or Secure Boot is switched off in firmware. Feature updates arrive when Microsoft decides, and the 10-day rollback window is easy to miss.

Features

  • Lifecycle at a glance: edition, version, build, servicing channel and the exact date security updates stop, in plain words
  • Upgrade readiness that explains each blocker and fixes the fixable ones: enabling TPM (fTPM or PTT) and Secure Boot with firmware guidance, converting MBR to GPT safely with mbr2gpt after a backup
  • Choose the version: pin to a feature update or move to the next one through the supported TargetReleaseVersion policy
  • Rollback insurance: extend the uninstall window from 10 to up to 60 days, and take an image before a feature update
  • In-place repair upgrade from an ISO that keeps apps, files and settings, to fix a damaged Windows without reinstalling
  • Fleet view for up to a few dozen PCs: who is out of support, who is upgrade-ready, who is waiting to restart

How it works

Lifecycle and readiness

  • Edition, version, build and UBR read locally; Microsoft lifecycle dates from a maintained table
  • Checks for TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, UEFI, CPU support list, RAM and storage, with the reason for each failure
  • Firmware guidance by motherboard and laptop maker for turning on fTPM, PTT and Secure Boot

Moving forward safely

  • mbr2gpt validate, then convert, after a Disk Imager backup
  • TargetReleaseVersion and ProductVersion policies to pin or target a release
  • DISM uninstall-window extension and a pre-upgrade image
  • Setup from a verified ISO with the keep-everything option for repair upgrades

Honest limits

  • Unsupported-hardware workarounds are explained, not recommended: Microsoft says such PCs may not receive updates
  • Windows 10 PCs that cannot upgrade get options: business ESU, Linux, or replacement planning

Who it is for

Home user

'This PC can't run Windows 11'

The check finds TPM disabled in firmware and the disk on MBR; after a backup, mbr2gpt and two firmware settings, the upgrade proceeds.

Office manager

A small office audit

The fleet view shows three PCs still on Windows 10 with consumer ESU ended and two Windows 11 PCs on a version past its servicing date.

Accountant

A risky feature update

The practice pins the current version until after the tax deadline, then moves with a 60-day rollback window.

Benefits

  1. Know exactly when each PC stops getting security fixes
  2. Many 'not Windows 11 ready' PCs fixed in minutes
  3. Feature updates on your schedule, with a way back

Built to be trusted

  • Disk conversion only after a validated backup and mbr2gpt's own validation
  • Every policy change recorded and reversible
  • Upgrades start only with enough space and a pre-upgrade image

Good to know

Some hardware genuinely cannot run Windows 11 under Microsoft's requirements, and we will say so rather than push unsupported workarounds. Firmware menus differ by maker, so TPM and Secure Boot guidance is step-by-step but the user must make the change. Large fleets belong in Intune or an RMM; this is for homes and small offices.
