Get ready for Windows 11 version 25H2 - Enablement Package and ISO downloads available


UPDATE 9/30:


 Windows IT Pro Blog:

How easy is it to move to Windows 11, version 25H2? As easy as a quick restart if you're on version 24H2! Today, Windows 11, version 25H2 became available to the Windows Insider community, in advance of broader availability planned for the second half of 2025. Get ready for a reset of the 36-month support lifecycle for Enterprise and Education editions and the 24-month lifecycle for Pro, Pro Education, and Pro for Workstation editions!

As easy as restarting: The benefits of the shared servicing branch​

Over the years, you've experienced regular optimizations to the development and servicing of each version of Windows. Your installations are faster, and your experiences are more seamless. That's because combined servicing stack updates (SSUs) with latest cumulative updates (LCUs) have reduced package size by 40%.

One of the most significant improvements that make these benefits possible is the Windows shared servicing branch. This capability applies the same technology used for the monthly update process to the annual feature updates. For you, it's a familiar, fast, and reliable update experience.

This process is called "feature updates via servicing," and the updates are implemented through enablement packages (eKB). An eKB is an update package that helps update a device to the next version of Windows with a single restart that reduces downtime.

Note: Not all Windows versions share the same servicing branch. The first update that used this process was from Windows 10, version 1903 to Windows 10, version 1909. To learn more, download and read the whitepaper Windows updates and the shared servicing model.


Moving from Windows 11, version 24H2 to version 25H2​

Windows 11, version 24H2 and version 25H2 use a shared servicing branch. Here's what this means for your update experience.

New features we develop for Windows 11, version 25H2 are part of the version 24H2 branch. When the new code is complete, we include it in the monthly LCUs for Windows 11, version 24H2 in a Disabled state. Think of it as having the new feature code slowly staged on devices running version 24H2—yet another reason to stay up to date with monthly Windows updates!

The code remains disabled on the device until it receives the eKB. The eKB changes flags in the staged code from Disabled to Enabled. When you restart the device, the new features become enabled, and you're officially on Windows 11, version 25H2!

To confirm that the update took place, check your version and OS build number in Windows Settings > System > About.


Windows 11, version 24H2 and version 25H2 share the same source code, with only the additional features turned on. Therefore, there should be no impact on compatibility between the two. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't test, but you can focus your tests on the new features rather than a full complement of OS, application, or device compatibilities.

Moving from earlier versions to Windows 11, version 25H2​

Since versions earlier than Windows 11, version 24H2 do not share the same servicing branch as Windows, version 25H2, the simple update via an eKB isn't possible. The normal feature update process is the best option. Use Windows Update or Windows Autopatch.

For Windows 10 devices or for new Windows 11 devices that you're deploying, first upgrade them to Windows 11, version 24H2 to make the transition to version 25H2 as simple and quick as possible when it's available.

Stay protected and productive with Windows 11, version 25H2​

Whichever way you get to Windows 11, version 25H2, devices will benefit from a fresh support lifecycle, which begins on the date of its general availability:

Windows 11 EditionLifecycle
Windows 11 Enterprise
Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session
Windows 11 Education
Windows 11 IoT Enterprise

The 'points' here on 11F and on 12F are your Trophy Points, nothing to do with 'likes'. There are things you can do to boost your Trophy Points, like setting up 2FA. Or just hang around long enough and you'll get a 'long service' trophy each year ;)

Not to be confuses with 'Likes' which earn you a 'Reaction score'. Those are beyond your control, only others can 'like' you.

I think John has turned off Reaction scores on 12F. I have had quite a few likes by now (88 of them) but my reaction score is still stuck at zero 🤣

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

Do people here really care about that stuff? I just post when I have a thought, opinion, or the rare occasion I have an answer or think I can help. Otherwise, I just mind my business and browse for tips and useful info.

Gave Dell touch screen with Windows 11 to daughter and got me an OTVOC. Being a PC builder I own many desktop PCs as well. I am a father of five providing PCs, laptops, and tablets for all my family, most of which I have modified, rebuilt, or simply built from scratch. I do not own a cell phone, never have, never will.
Do people here really care about that stuff? I just post when I have a thought, opinion, or the rare occasion I have an answer or think I can help. Otherwise, I just mind my business and browse for tips and useful info.
That's an Internet joke. Back in the day when China first jumped online, you could hire cheap online labor to do repetitive tasks, otherwise known as "farming" or "grinding". Like paying someone to accumulate MS Points on your behalf by clicking the web.

I'll be honest, before my home computer became almost a work computer for me (I stream four days a week), I would love to install Dev and Beta versions of Windows (as well as OS/2 Warp) and if it crashed hard I'd just send in my bug reports, reformat, and go.

I'll be following the 25H2 conversations with interest....

25H2 will have an Enablement Package (EP). Which means if you hate it, uninstall the EP and you're back as 24H2.

And then configure TargetReleaseVersion if you really don't want 25H2 happening again.
