When it come to the Windows 11 24h2 to 25h2 update. Using the Media Creation Tool is a reliable and free method to perform a clean installation or upgrade of Windows 11, including Windows 11 24h2 to 25h2 update. It can help resolve stubborn update errors like 0x8024a205 by ensuring you have a fresh, uncorrupted installer.

Benefits of Using the Media Creation Tool:

  • Provides the latest version of Windows 11.
  • Bypasses issues with Windows Update.
  • Allows for a clean install or an in-place upgrade.
  • Keeps your files and apps if you choose the upgrade option.

 

Steps:

1. Go to the same official Microsoft Windows 11 download page.
2. Under the "Create Windows 11 Installation Media" section, click "Download Now".
3. Run the tool. When prompted, select "Upgrade this PC now" instead of creating installation media.
4. It will download the latest Windows 11 image and perform an in-place upgrade, which is functionally identical to using the Installation Assistant.
