Question Unable to update Windows 11

[shy_panther]

hello, I'm using Windows 11 23H2 and want it to update to 24H2, but its showing "You're up to date."

Is your hardware 100% compliant? This is related to another thread where I asked a recent question about "troubles arising from 'ineligible' hardware with Windows 11.

But it shouldn't matter in either case, except that the fix for this is to download the latest ISO or IMG file for Win 11 that is version 24H2 and do an "in-place-upgrade-repair" installation on your computer to "Save programs and files".

Just more inconvenient than having Windows Update manage it for you.

Look at your Update History to see if there had been an attempt to install 24H2 as a Feature Update that failed. Then, choose a course of action, such as that with my suggestion.

Yes, my hardware is 100% compliant. Thanks for your reply I'll look as you said.

Do whatever backups you deem appropriate just in case, download the 24h2 iso, mount it and run setup?

okay, I'll after some time.

okay, I'll after some time.

Before I do in-place upgrades, I tend to run sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, just to maximise the chance of the upgrade working without issues.

Okay, that is nice.

@mikeymikec what OS do you use?

That's a good thing to remember, and for overlooking the prudence of doing it, I'm lucky that I'd done a "refresh" upgrade-repair of Windows 10 before I installed Windows 11 on my slightly ineligible test system. I've got everything except a Coffee Lake processor, but I'm running a Kaby Lake CPU.

It should be obvious as to why the OP's own concerns attracted my attention.
