Windows 11 Version 25H2
Hi guys. I read an article online today that W11 25H2 is starting to roll out. I checked for Updates, and even have "Get latest Updates as soon as available" toggled on, but my laptop says I am up to date? I checked for updates several times already today. How can I get W11 25H2? Help appreciated :)

Thank you for the info! Do I need to download/install the ISO, or just download/install the Enablement Package MSU file?

The enablement package is sufficient and you end up with the same thing.
Unless you want a clean install, then grab the ISO

Should I try to update to 25H2 now, or wait till it hits my Windows Update normally?

YES! Just use the Enablement Package. :-)


It takes about 3 seconds, and a reboot. That's it. ^^
So now ya know. There is such a thing as a free lunch, and it's called an Enablement Package.

I downloaded the enablement package. Double-clicked it and it asked if I wanted to Install KB5054156? What does that do? Sorry, I never installed an Windows 11 Update this way before...

Hi again guys. I used the Enablement Package, and am now on W11 25H2 (OS Build 26200.6725). Is that the right version? I am surprised it only took a few seconds to install, and a system reboot. I thought most Windows 11 updates take longer?

All the Enablement Package does is to unlock 25H2 features which are already hidden in the 24H2 updates installed on your system. It's just flipping switches and enabling a 25H2 personality. If you uninstall the EP, Windows reverts to a 24H2 personality.

Turned on 'Get the latest updates as soon as they're available' and 25H2 appeared. Installed, rebooted, turned off 'Get the...'.

No significant difference that I can see (or, more importantly hear) so far.
