Although it&#8217;s usually not recommended to upgrade early because of bugs and other issues during the development process, if you want to try the upcoming features, you have at least a couple of ways to install version 24H2. For example, you can enroll your computer in the Release Preview Channel of the Windows Insider Program and then use the &#8220;Windows Update&#8221; settings to upgrade. You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/download-windows-11-24h2-iso-preview\/\">download the Windows 11 24H2 ISO<\/a> to perform a <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/clean-install-windows-11-24h2\/\">clean installation<\/a> or an in-place upgrade.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has already <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/kb5039239-windows-11-24h2-copilot-pcs-june-release\/\">released version 24H2 for Copilot+ PCs<\/a> featuring ARM-based processors starting June 18, 2024. However, the final release for existing devices will be available on <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-24h2-release-date-2024\/\">October 8, 2024, as a final release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the new features, the Windows 11 2024 Update is packed with AI innovations powered by the new Windows Copilot Runtime, including <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-recall-delay\/\">Windows Recall (delayed)<\/a>, Voice Clarity, <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/configure-studio-effects-windows-11\/\">Windows Studio Effects<\/a>, Live Captions, and <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/whats-super-resolution-windows-11-enable\/\">Auto Super Resolution (Auto SR)<\/a>. Non-AI features include a new <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/what-energy-saver-windows-11-enable\/\">Energy Saver<\/a> mode for laptops and desktops, <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/enable-protected-print-mode-windows-11\/\">Windows Protected Print Mode<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/enable-sudo-windows-11\/\">Linux Sudo command<\/a>, changes for Bluetooth and Sound, and the company is even porting the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/change-color-profile-windows-11\/\">&#8220;Color Management&#8221;<\/a> settings to the Settings app.<\/p>\n<p>If your computer already supports Windows 11, you can upgrade directly to Windows 11 24H2 since the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-system-requirements\/\">system requirements<\/a> have yet to officially change. However, to receive Windows 11 24H2 via Windows Update, you must have a PC running Windows 11 23H2 or 22H2 with the May 2024 non-security update preview or higher release. Otherwise, the option won&#8217;t be available. Also, the option to upgrade can take some time to appear as Microsoft is gradually rolling out the update.<\/p>\n<p>If you are still on <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-10\">Windows 10<\/a>, you can upgrade directly, but you must ensure that the hardware meets the minimum requirements. You will need an Intel 8th Gen or newer, AMD Zen 2 or newer, or Qualcomm 7 and 8 Series processor. This is in addition to the requirements of TPM 2.0 and a minimum of 64GB of storage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I will teach you the steps to upgrade to the next version of Windows 11.\u00a0If the new version is causing performance issues or compatibility problems, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/uninstall-windows-11-24h2\/\">uninstall Windows 11 24H2<\/a> with these steps.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"toc\">\n<li><a href=\"#upgrade_windows11_24h2_updatesettings\">Upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 from Windows Update<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#upgrade_windows11_24h2_assistant\">Upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 from Installation Assistant<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#upgrade_windows11_24h2_iso\">Upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 from ISO file<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#upgrade_windows11_24h2_insiderprogram\">Upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 from Insider Program<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"tip-box\"><span><strong>Important:<\/strong> If you plan to upgrade an existing system, it is also recommended that you <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/backup-windows-11-external-usb-drive\/\">create a full backup<\/a> before proceeding.<\/span><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"upgrade_windows11_24h2_updatesettings\">Upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 from Windows Update<\/h2>\n<p>To upgrade to Windows 11 22H2 manually from Windows Update, use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open <strong>Settings <\/strong>on Windows 11.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click on <strong>Windows Update<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Turn on the <strong>&#8220;Get the latest updates as soon as they&#8217;re available&#8221;<\/strong> toggle switch.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>&#8220;Check for updates&#8221; <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-172925\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windowsupdate-upgrade-24h2.webp?resize=827%2C541&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Windows Update download version 24H2\" width=\"827\" height=\"541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windowsupdate-upgrade-24h2.webp?w=1039&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1039w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windowsupdate-upgrade-24h2.webp?resize=300%2C196&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windowsupdate-upgrade-24h2.webp?resize=877%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 877w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windowsupdate-upgrade-24h2.webp?resize=150%2C98&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>&#8220;Download and install&#8221;<\/strong> button to install Windows 11 24H2.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Restart now<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once you complete the steps, the setup will upgrade the system to version 24H2.<\/p>\n<p>You can also follow these instructions in my video tutorial on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@pureinfotech\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my YouTube channel<\/a>.
