 The enhanced agent-based migration stack designed for physical and VMware environments. The upgraded stack offers several significant benefits, such as:
 
 - It enables the migration of newer Linux distributions to Azure, expanding the range of supported operating systems and ensuring that customers can leverage the latest advancements in Linux technology. 
-- It utilizes Windows Server 2019 (WS2019) for the replication appliance.
+- It utilizes Windows Server 2019 (WS2019) and 	Windows Server 2022 (WS2022) for the replication appliance.
 - It offers a unified OS support matrix and implies that customers can benefit from a consistent and streamlined approach to operating system support across their migration processes.
 
-The upgraded agent-based migration stack provides customers with the tools and capabilities to efficiently migrate newer Linux distributions. It also allows them to utilize WS2019 for replication and benefit from a unified OS support matrix. These features enhance the overall migration process to Azure.

 ## Key differences
 
 The key differences between the Classic and Simplified experience:
 
 | **Aspect** | **Classic experience** | **Simplified experience** |
 | --- | --- | --- | 
-| Upgrade and replacement | Existing version with traditional interface | Upgraded version offering a more streamlined and user-friendly interface.
+| Upgrade and replacement | Old version with traditional interface | Upgraded version offering a more streamlined and user-friendly interface.
 | Enhanced compatibility | Limited support for newer Linux distributions | Supports newer Linux distributions and uses Windows Server 2019 as the replication appliance. |
 | Improved performance and reliability | Standard performance and reliability | Leveraging latest technologies for better performance and reliability in physical and VMware agent-based migrations. |
 |Streamlined migration process| Traditional migration process	 | Provides a more seamless and efficient migration process, addressing multiple customer concerns. |
-| Deprecation of classic experience | Active until March 2026, support ends the following quarter | NA |
+| Deprecation of classic experience | Support for ongoing replications active until March 2026, Support for initializing new replications ends by October 30, 2025 | NA |
+
+## Action Required
+- Do not use the classic experience for any new agent-based VMware or physical server replications. Replication initialization using classic experience will not be supported after **October 30, 2025**.
+- Support for servers currently under replication with the classic experience will continue until the retirement date, **March 30, 2026**. Please plan your migrations before the retirement date.
+- If you have any servers discovered via the replication appliance under classic experience, please plan your replications before **October 30, 2025**, and subsequent migrations accordingly.
