Although Microsoft has officially rolled out this update, it will be rolled out to users via Windows Update in chunks. If you want to download and install Windows 11 24H2 on your computer right now, you can download it using the methods mentioned in this article.

Change the file location to the one where you downloaded the ISO file. This will give you a hash value which you can tally from the table below. If it matches, the ISO file is untouched and originally from Microsoft.

Upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 via Windows Update

Unlike upgrading from Windows 11 22H2 to 23H2, upgrading to 24H2 is different. Either you can upgrade using Windows Update or you can also upgrade using in-place upgrade. We will discuss in-place upgrade in the next section. Let’s check out how to upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 via Windows Update.

At the time of this writing, Microsoft has still not made this update available to all Windows 11 users. Microsoft is releasing this update to users gradually through Windows Update.

Once it’s available for your system, you will get an update notification from Windows Update. To download and install the update, please go to Settings -> Windows Update. If you see the 24H2 update, just click on Download & install button. This will automatically download and install the update for you.

When I installed this update on my system, it took more than one hour to complete the update. This means this is a major upgrade. The system will restart several times during the update. Please be patient and do not turn off your computer in the middle of the installation.

In-place upgrade

In-place upgrade is a process that will allow you to update your existing Operating System to Windows 11 24H2 without performing a clean installation. It preserves the current system settings, files, and installed programs.

It is convenient for users who don’t want to upgrade using Windows Update but also don’t want to clean install Windows 11.

Before going with the in-place upgrade, make sure your system is compatible with Windows 11 24H2 requirements.

Media Creation Tool

To run an in-place upgrade, you can either use the Media Creation Tool or the Microsoft Installation assistant. Follow the simple three step process below:

  1. Download Media Creation Tool
  2. Launch the tool and select “Upgrade this PC now”
  3. Follow the prompts and select “Keep personal files and apps” when asked.

This will first download the Windows 11 24H2 ISO and then start the installation. If you have already downloaded the ISO file, you can mount it and run the setup directly without downloading it again.

Installation Assistant

You can also use the installation assistant to upgrade to the latest version of Windows 11. It will automatically check for system requirements and only install if your system satisfies the minimum requirements. This is the safest upgrade option.

Follow these steps to upgrade from your current OS version to Windows 11 24H2:

  1. Download Windows 11 Installation Assistant and execute the package.

  2. First, you will need to download and install the PC Health Check app regardless if you are already running Windows 11. Click “Get PC Health Check app.”

    Get PC Health Check app
    Get the PC Health Check app
  3. The app will now download. Install the PC Health Check app and see if your system meets the requirements.

  4. Once done, return to the Installation Assistant and click Refresh.

    Get PC Health Check app 1
    Refresh the app
  5. Now click “Accept and install.”

    Accept and install
    Accept terms and begin download
  6. The tool will now begin to download Windows 11 23H2.

    Once finished, restart your computer so it can upgrade to the latest version available.

System requirements

Windows 11 24H2 has almost the same hardware requirements as 23H2. Here are the minimum requirements:

ComponentRequirement
Processor1 GHz or faster, 2+ cores
RAM4 GB
Storage64 GB or larger
FirmwareUEFI, Secure Boot capable
TPMTPM version 2.0
Graphics CardDirectX 12 compatible
DisplayDisplay >9” with HD Resolution (720p)
Windows 11 Version 24H2 system requirements

Conclusion

Although I have upgraded my systems, my advice about upgrading to Windows 11 24H2 is that you should wait at least another month, especially for your production PCs. This is because people are complaining about a lot of issues with different types of hardware when they are installing or upgrading to Windows 11 24H2.

Which feature entices you to install Windows 11 24H2 on your system?

Is there any way of downloading Windows 11 24H2 that I have missed in this article? Please tell me in the comments below.
