I took gamble and bought my wife the laptop below from Amazon. The price point is great for her needs. Even though the specs state it's a 2025 model it came with Windows 11 Pro 22H2. I ran Windows Update but it doesn't grab 24H2. Is it just a waiting game or is there another option to get 24H2. As you might know 22H2 is unsupported.

You need 23H2 first - to be able to upgrade to 24H2 (an "upgrade" doesn't skip major versions). So force Windows updates to see only 23H2 updates - with Group policy editor:

Win Key + R and type (or copy paste) gpedit.msc

And follow the Arrows - but first where it says 24H2 ...

2025-09-18_185851-webp.145776


- put 23H2 (cause you need this one first), then check Windows Updates. And after upgrading to 23H2, you use above steps again - but now add 24H2.

Oh yeah, forgot about this. Should be faster this way.

And only after you force 24H2.

I started the original suggestion before the enablement option was posted. Yeah, it's slow but I'm in no hurry. Is it unusual for a current PC model to come with 22H2?

Not necessarily. It all depends on when they built the computer.
It may have been sitting on the shelf for a year or so.
