- Visit the Microsoft Windows 11 Download Page.
- Scroll down to Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO).

- Choose the latest version (which includes 25H2 if available), and download the ISO file.

- Mount the ISO by right-clicking and selecting Mount.
- Run the Setup.exe from the mounted ISO.
- When prompted, do not proceed immediately.
- Continue with the in-place upgrade process.
