How to update Windows 11 to 25H2 manually from old windows version?
Windows 11 25H2 is publicly available. But my computer still does not receive the update notice. If you know how to update Windows 11 to 25H2 manually, please kindly let me. My laptop is currently ru...
Given your situation—your laptop is running Windows 11 23H2, your CPU (Intel Core i5 6500) is not officially supported by Windows 11, and you want to update Windows 11 to 25H2 manually—that's a bit more complex.
Important Consideration
- Since your CPU isn't officially supported for Windows 11, some features (like Windows Update) might be blocked.
- Updating manually can still be done, but it may involve bypassing certain hardware checks, which can impact stability or security.
- Proceed at your own risk and backup your data beforehand.
To update Windows 11 to 25H2 manually, some community tools/scripts (like UUB Dump or Windows11SysPraap) automate bypassing checks, but they carry risks and are more complex.
