Event details
Just a quick question, anyone having issues updating to win 11 25H2 without having 24H2 applied?
We are about to start our estate wide deployment of 25H2, been through testing phases over the last few months. Mainly from 24H2 to 25H2, but some devices are still stuck on 23H2 due to them not having enough disk space, needing 30-40Gb in some cases!
So we're expecting the same issues when 25H2 is aimed at them. 24H2>25H2 is an enablement package (tiny), but 23H2>25H2 is a sizeable upgrade. We're expecting freespace issues to be the main challenge again.
Hope that helps
We are currently upgrading from 23H2 to 25H2, managed by Intune and Windows Update for Business (well, Autopatch as I guess it's called now). No issues other than a few that will self-resolve with time (Insufficient Update Connectivity etc.)
We use WUfB and are not able to upgrade from 23H2 directly to 25H2, like you we need to upgrade to 24H2 first.

Upgrading to 24H2 first is not required. If you are using Autopatch, I strongly recommend reviewing the reports in Intune and setting up WUfB reports to dig into further details on update deployment.

Hi JamesCV,
Can you be more specific please? What type of issues are you experiencing? Keep in mind that you can only install the enablement package if you already have 24H2 installed otherwise you must use the full OS-swap based installation.
We have a couple clients that decided to upgrade to windows 11 25H2 on their own. Of course they ran into some failures and we noticed that the only way to get them up to win 11 25H2 was to get 24H2 installed first
Hi JamesCV,
I also encountered that issue before on our employees. What I did was to do the Other Troubleshooters > Windows Update > Run. After that, it downloaded the updates from 23H2 to 25H2.
Thanks!
