    For Windows 11 Home 22H2, the simplest path is to upgrade through Windows Update first:

    1. Open Start > Settings > Windows Update.
    2. Select Check for updates.
    3. If the upgrade is available, install Feature Update to Windows 11, version 23H2.

    Important details:

    • Devices updating from Windows 11 version 22H2 to 23H2 use an enablement package, so the upgrade is designed to be small and quick, with one restart.
    • To get 23H2 through Windows Update, the device must already be on Windows 11, version 22H2 and have October 31, 2023—KB5031455 or a later cumulative update installed.
    • If Windows Update does not offer the newer version, a commonly used fallback is the Windows 11 Installation Assistant or a Windows 11 ISO from the official Windows 11 download page.

    If the PC is managed by an organization, the IT administrator may control when the upgrade is offered.

    You can install the latest Windows 11 version by using the built-in Windows Update tool or by running Windows 11 Installation Assistant.

    To update through Settings, click Start, open Settings, and select Windows Update. Click Check for updates. If the latest feature update is available, select Download and install, then restart your computer when prompted.

    If Windows Update does not show the newest version yet, you can use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant. Browse to Windows 11 Installation Assistant page, download the Installation Assistant, open the downloaded file, click Accept and install, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the upgrade while keeping your personal files and apps.
