    This is because one of the system requirements is missing for Windows 11 24H2, which demands much more rigorous requirements than 23H2. That's why you can't upgrade Windows 11 23H2 to 24H2.

    The solution is to patch the Windows 11 24H2 ISO and start the in-place upgrade afterwards.

    Let me know if you need more help. I have upgraded a couple of unsupported PCs to Windows 11 24H2 by following the steps in above tutorial.

I just finished this process:  Download the Windows 11 25H2 iso only from a Microsoft site.  Right-click the iso and Mount it.  Right-click setup.exe and Run as Administrator.  Select whether or not you want to keep your data and let the iso install anew the Windows 11 25H2 OS.  It took hours...  Good luck.
