Windows 11 23H2 ISO Download for 64 bit Pro

My PC is not fully supported by Windows 11 25H2 because of the processor does not support SSE 4.2. The problem is that there is no way to download Windows 11 23H2 ISO from Microsoft website. Currently, only Windows 11 25H2 ISO is available for download. This is really frustrating. I dig around on Microsoft website and could not find any download link for 23H2. 

Does anyone know a safe place for Windows 11 23H2 ISO download, especially for Windows 11 Pro 64bit?

Thanks

    Using a Media Creation Tool Registry Hack for Windows 11 23H2 ISO download is a workaround some users try to access newer or specific Windows versions before they are officially released or broadly available. 

    1. Official Method to Download Windows 11 ISO:

    2. Visit the Microsoft Download Windows 11 page.

    3. Scroll down to the "Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO)" section.

    4. Select "Windows 11" from the dropdown menu.

    5. Choose your edition and click "Download".

    Regarding Windows 11 23H2 ISO download:

    • As of now, Microsoft typically releases major updates like 23H2 through Windows Update or as optional downloads.

    Avoid using registry hacks or unofficial tools to bypass licensing or obtain ISO files, as these can lead to security issues, system instability, or violate licensing agreements.
