Why am I still on 24H2?

My Windows 11 machine is still on 24H2, every time I ask it to check for updates, it says there's no updates. 25H2 released in September, yet it hasn't rolled out to update to me yet? Why?

This is normal Windows updates like 24H2 roll out gradually. If you’re not seeing it, it’s likely due to a compatibility hold or your device not being marked ready yet . You can try enabing “Get latest updates” or use the Installation Assistant, but if it’s blocked, it’s usually safer to wait
