Windows 11 24H2 ISO Download? I can't find it from Microsoft
The display text was wrong and non-readable after my PC was upgraded to Windows 11 25H2. It was working fine with 24H2. So I went to the Windows 11 download page and only 25H2 ISO is available for download. I need to downgrade the OS to 24H2 but unable to find a safe place for Windows 11 24H2 ISO download. Home or Pro version are fine.
By the way, I need the download for Windows 11 24H2 64-bit for x64.
