Windows 11 24H2 now also offered to all eligible Windows 10 PCs
Microsoft says Windows 11 24H2 has entered the broad deployment phase and is now available to all seekers via Windows Update.
The latest Windows version (known as the Windows 11 2024 Update) has also begun rolling out to all eligible PCs running Windows 10 22H2 this Tuesday.
"Starting this week, we are expanding this latest Windows version's phased rollout. We are gradually offering this update also to eligible devices running Windows 10, version 22H2," the company says on the Windows release health dashboard.
"If you have an eligible Windows 10 or Windows 11 device, you can check if the update is available by selecting Settings > Windows Update and selecting Check for updates.
"If your device is ready for the update, you'll see the option to Download and install Windows 11, version 24H2."
This follows Redmond's announcement last week that it will start force-installing Windows 11 24H2 on eligible, non-managed systems running the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 22H2 and 23H2.
The Windows 11 2024 Update began rolling out in October as a complete operating system swap to eligible devices running Windows 11 22H2 and 23H2.
If you're not ready for the 24H2 upgrade, you can pause it from Settings > Windows Update by selecting the time you want to delay it. However, after reaching that time limit, you will still have to install the latest updates.
Redmond provides a support document and a step-by-step guide to help resolve issues encountered during the Windows 11 24H2 upgrade process.
It's also important to mention that you won't be able to upgrade if your device is affected by one of the multiple compatibility holds that prevent the Windows 11 24H2 feature update from being offered to systems with incompatible configurations or software.
These include some ASUS devices, PCs with Auto HDR enabled, Dirac audio improvement software, Asphalt 8 (Airborne), and PCs with an integrated camera or running the Safe Exam Browser and Easy Anti-Cheat applications.
