I have been trying to update to Windows 11 24h2 but it refused for some reason. At a point I could update using the optional updates section so I was saving it for later but now I can't even find the update in the optional update section and the main windows updates section. Can anyone help?

    The most successful method to install version 24H2 is to use the Windows 11 ISO.

    You will need at least 40GB of space on your C drive for the update (this space can be cleaned up later).

    Please ensure you download the ISO in the same language as you use for the Windows UI, follow the steps, this is then not like re-installing Windows, it is just like an update and your personal files, settings and installed software will not be affected.

    Click this link:

    to download the Windows 11 ISO

    When the ISO file completes downloading

    Disconnect from the Internet

    Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.

    Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

    Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the Install option.

    Very Important - ensure you select the option to keep your files and apps.
