How to Update Windows 11pro 21H2

Question

How do I fix ( Your version of Windows 11 has reached end of service)? I've only been out of hospital for a short while and I can't go to the computer guy that has helped me and I have a ThinkPad, OS build 22000.2538. I don't know what to do, any help appreciated. Thanks
