Dual boot Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (b 19045.5131) & Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (b 22631.4460)
Hello everyone,

I am now contemplating installing Windows 11 24H2 from 23H2. What is the preferred method? I think I will do a clean install since I only have MS Office and Firefox, Acrobat and 7 Zip installed. I prefer this method so that I can avoid more clutter on my C:\.

What are your suggestions?

Kind regards,

tecknot

Clean install, for sure. At least this is what I always do after a major update is available.

How to get 24H2... now.

Assuming you're on 23H2, and your CPU has the SSE4.2 Instruction Set... Make a fresh backup first. (Optional, but a good idea.) I used the Media Creation Tool to download the 24H2 ISO from Microsoft, and saved it to my desktop. Then I right clicked it and chose: MOUNT And... I just did an...

If neither of those work... then I would try the clean install.

Thank you both, Anaksy and Ghot.

I will try the clean install. I already have the 24H2 ISO on bootable USB. I'll do a backup first.

With the small list of programs you said you have installed, there is no downside. As long as you have a backup image you can always go back to square one and start over.

Your welcome. By the way, Living in a van down by the river was one of the best comedy skits on SNL. Chris Farley and Phil Hartman were great comedians. It's so sad thinking about the fact they they are both gone.

Hi Winuser,

I agree whole heartily. I totally dug Phil Hartman too. They were two of the best.
