Hi folks
Running a test Windows 2025 server -- on the Canary channel -- it's doing an updates but it stll says 24H2 -is there any 25H1/25H2 version of this

I've got this from work so licensed OK -- and I've been playing around on converting it to a "Workstation desktop" -- and it's really super slick, fast, almost zero bloat etc.The only program that senses it's a server that I might want to run is Macrium but there are other ways to back up the system. Very impressed with this- pity Windows itself can't be this slick.

Cheers
jimbo

24H2 and 25H2 share a common set of system files, for client editions the update to 25H2 is just a small enablement package.

I'm running 25H2 now in the Dev Channel, with the Enablement package there for all to see.

Having said that, IMHO Server 2025 is likely to stay as 24H2, it doesn't need the 25H2 enablement to remain supported. It is after all in mainstream support until 2029 and extended support to 2032.

    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'.
