24H2 update

SkyChimp · Aug 20, 2024

Is there any reason why I should not roll up to 24h2? I see some people are having system issues

Berton · Aug 20, 2024

Isn't Version 24H2 still in the Insider Preview process, not yet released to the public? If so it's still in BETA/Testing and can still be having issues.

@Berton good question. I am not sure about that. This update popped up on windows11 home

@Berton I also found information about this a moment ago. I would think this would not apply to local accounts which is what I am using.

Device Encryption will only be applied automatically for a clean install. Upgrading to 24H2 will not encrypt the drive.

Unlike a standard BitLocker implementation, device encryption is enabled automatically so that the device is always protected. When a clean installation of Windows is completed and the out-of-box experience is finished, the device is prepared for first use. As part of this preparation, device encryption is initialized on the OS drive and fixed data drives on the computer with a clear key that is the equivalent of standard BitLocker suspended state. In this state, the drive is shown with a warning icon in Windows Explorer. The yellow warning icon is removed after the TPM protector is created and the recovery key is backed up.

26100.1457 isn't an Insider build.

I'm not an insider. I did an ISO based "upgrade" to 26100.712. Windows Update has subsequently taken it, in several updates, to .1457.

The language used about it is confusing, IMHO.

26100.1586 appears to be an RP insider build.

And, to answer a different question, I had Bitlocker disabled. It has not been enabled by an upgrade/update.

Build 22631 is current on my RTM machines, they've never been in the Insider program.

Berton! Don't you ever Listen? For weeks, I've been Screaming "It's Here!" I've even been running 24H2 here on several of my own PC's, from the base 24H2 (weeks ago) to 24H2 V4.2, today!

But you've got to let loose of those MS Apron Strings!!!!
The ONLY pre-requisite for installing 24H2 is that your CPU must have the SSE4.2 Instruction set included. Without that, you're stuck running 23H2. So far, there is no FIX for that. MS won't come up with that, but maybe some other top Programmer will.
Fortunately, most of us who have CPU's that are less than 12 years old, have that SSE4.2 instruction set, in our CPU's, so we can run Win-11 24H2.

Out of ten PC's, I have only three that will run 24H2, and all three are now running it! A couple of them are so old that they will only run a 32 bit OS. But that's OK.....Windows 10/Pro/32 runs great on those really OLD PC's, and when properly set up, they look, and run, just like they are running Win-11.

Even, just early this morning, I downloaded Win-11/Pro, 24H2, V4.2, then burned it to a Flash Drive using the Rufus that came zipped up with the download ISO. Then I installed it to a new 240 GB SSD. And, within an hour, I had it on the Internet (this forum) and I was doing my email.

I just don't understand, why some people can't just do something Neat , Clean, and FAST, instead of making a HUGE job out of it.
I just cringe when I read some of the accounts of how someone goes about installing a new OS. It's just endless Gobbledegook!
It's only a simple three step program! I've posted that, over and over again and I don't feel like doing that again.

Cheers Mates!

I just thought Y'all might like to see this.

And you won't get 26100.1457 via Windows Update today.

Presumably some 26100.xxxx update will come down this autumn.

Oh, I've heard it all but since I'm not in the Insider Preview program any longer [only was for Win10 and earlier] and I make money working on clients' machines that won't be in it I don't get consumed by it.

TechnoMage2021 ---Can you provide the link for that Win11 Pro, 24H2, V4.2 ISO that you said you downloaded, and did a clean install. All I know at this point is if I want to jump in and go for 24H2 is download the Windows 11 Client Insider Build Preview--Build 26100.1150 and do all the updates that come with it.

Second:
if one does install 24H2 now while still in preview, once the stable version is released to the public, will I need to do another clean install or will the version update through windows update.
Appreciate it

My experience with Win10 in the IP was Yes, a clean install was required to get into the RTM version. That was stated in the 'warning' statement about not installing on a production machine or the only computer available.

Stupsi · Aug 20, 2024

Thanks Berton...as much as I would like to jump on the train, really sounds like it is better for RTM

24H2 has already been released to the public, for the ARM powered Copilot+ PCs, that is. The Release Preview channel is getting the same updates for x64 machines as are being released for the Copilot+ PCs, and I would expect once x64 gets a public launch you'd be getting the public updates, without needing to clean install.

Thanks for the information. I just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly. If I do a clean install and I release the out-of-box experience to set up a local account this would not encrypt my system. Correct? Or is it going to encrypt it anyway just because of the new install?

When I asked CoPilot if Windows X-Lite Optimum 11 24H2 was legitimate, I got this:

Windows X-Lite Optimum 11 24H2 is a custom, lightweight version of Windows 11 designed to run on lower-spec machines by bypassing certain hardware requirements like TPM, Secure Boot, RAM, CPU, and storage checks. It includes features like .NET Framework 3.5 pre-installed, optional Windows Defender, and full support for UWP apps, Xbox, MS Store, and more.

However, it’s important to note that this version is not an official release from Microsoft. It is a modified version created by third parties, which means it may not receive official support or updates from Microsoft. Additionally, using such custom versions can pose security risks and may violate Microsoft’s terms of service.

If you are considering using Windows X-Lite Optimum 11 24H2, make sure to weigh the potential risks and benefits carefully.

Stupsi · Aug 20, 2024

understand and thanks--don't need Windows X-Lite Optimum 11 24H2.
Appreciate all the very helpful replies.
