Not Receiving The 24H2 Update Notification

Windows 11 23H2 Pro.

I am not receiving any notification to update to 24H2. I noticed that the OS doesn't include a Recovery partition. It didn't bother me because I regularly create and save full system image backups. However, now I'm thinking this might be the reason I'm not receiving the 24H2 update?

Is that likely the cause?

And, if I perform an in-place upgrade should I create a separate 1GB partition on the system drive beforehand to accommodate a Recovery partition or will the in-place upgrade take care of that for me?

TIA.. Jim

  • Ensure your Windows 11 meets primary requirements.

    Windows 11 24H2 is no longer latest version, as Version 25H2 is already released.

    You can use Windows 11 Installation Assistant which you can download from here: 

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 

    This will help you to directly upgrade to Version 25H2.

    Alternatively, you can try manual upgrade using Windows 11 25H2 ISO file. Follow these steps: 

    1. Download Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft website.
    2. Double click on it to mount it to a DVD drive.
    3. Then go to DVD drive, double click on setup.exe to proceed.
    4. Follow on-screen instructions to complete upgrade.
