Windows 11 24H2 ISO images are now live on Microsoft’s servers after Windows Latest exclusively reported about the development yesterday. To download the media files, head to Microsoft’s downloads portal, click “Download now” under the ISO section, pick the edition you’d like to try and begin the download. Windows 11 24H2 is a massive update because it’s a new version of the OS based on the “Germanium” release, which is an engineering milestone. Development of Windows 11 Germanium release initially kicked off in August 2023, and it represents this year’s major update for Windows 11 consumers, Windows Server 2025, and Azure Stack HCI. Microsoft tells me the Windows 11 2024 Update is still rolling out, so you may not see it via Windows Update yet. The Media Creation Tool is still showing Windows 11 23H2, but it will be updated in the next few hours. For now, we’ve shared the direct download links. The size of Windows 11 ISO (2024 Update edition) is 5.4GB, which is significantly less than the previous update (23H2). For comparison, 23H2 was about 6.24GB in size, but Windows 11 24H2 is down to just 5.4GB. This is possible because of the recent checkpoint improvements made to Windows 11. The update is offered in Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Enterprise LTSC editions. To get started, you’ll need to meet the minimum hardware requirements of 4GB RAM, TPM 2.0, and a 64-bit processor. ISOs are no longer offered in 32-bit version. Of course, there’s an ARM version for those with a Snapdragon PC, but it’ll be published in the coming weeks. To download the ISO file for Windows 11 version 24H2, you can either use the Windows Media Creation Tool or refer to the direct links we’ve generated.
