I found that the 24h2 ISO file was a compressed file. I could not right click on it from the example above to mount it.

From there I opened the Command Prompt and put in the proper command setup / product server and then hit enter and it loaded 24h2! 😉

This method works, but after upgrading from 23H2 to 24H2, Google Chrome and Electron applications sometimes flicker for 1ms, which is annoying. This never happened on 23H2.

Hey there! I've been watching your videos for a while now, more than a year to be exact. I used your tutorials to install Windows 11 in my old Pentium processor laptop and let me tell you, the feeling was phenomenal. I also installed the 23H2 version of it in my Ryzen 5 2400G processor desktop. Now, my actual question is this: Is it worth it to download and install 24H2 in my desktop? Like, is there any major improvements, or any new features that's actually good? If yes, then I'm gonna continue to download and install 24H2 in my desktop. Otherwise, I might just stick with my 23H2 version. Anyways, great video as always. Thanks for the beautiful tutorial. Keep doing the good work!

[@jensdbe]

Personally, although I did upgrade to document it and show in a video, I don't really see the added value. The family-computer here at home is still at 23H2, which did had a few nice small improvements for me. 23H2, for now at least, seems to work just fine and still gets security patches etc. so don't bother if you're not into one of the new features.

[@terrybates8651]

Good video. There are others but well explained. I do have to do the .\setup.exe Command on mine but you do get the hint thar you need to when you type just setup.exe blah blah. The .\ prefix to the command. Virtual machine being enabled on an i3 in the Bios was the stumbling on why mine kept failing. Once it was set to off it was fine went past the 2nd reboot. So no more WSA on that machine. Small price to pay. Someone probably has a technical explanation of why the Bios has to be set to off for virtual machine thingey on i3s and may be higher. You'd know if you changed it for WSA. Change it back. If after installation of 24h2 you then enable it again the PC refuses to boot like it did during installation. Change it back to off. Fun. Think that then messed up the updates. Been there, done that on previous version of Windows 11. MSI fixed that of the cumulative update that was failing. Settled down now... we hope. On compatible hardware WSA still works fine. Something to look out for if hanging on the second reboot and you have fiddled the BIOS previously to install WSA. Unfiddle it.

So that's one laptop and one desktop done successfully. Thoe only issue I had on both was it corrupted my Outlook 2010 installation and had to do a repair from the original software discs. My preferable laptop I use for day to day would not install as it doesn't comply with the CPU requirements for installing 24H2 so it's running on 23H2 windows insider program.

[@terrybates8651]

Did you try the msi file of it ?. Read to mean "manual". I did have an issue with cumulative update of 24h2. Fiddling with the stop, start services, deletion etc. Then did the MSI, that was then fine. The other PC went through fine. Whether it's because it played up and got in a mess. The playing up was on the Bios setting I'd changed previously for WSA. The other one I hadn't. Reckon that was the downfall on the KB getting installed. All working fine now.
