Windows 11 Update

I have been trying to download the 24H2 update for windows 11 pro on my laptop, i haven't received it yet in my windows update settings, so i tried to run the update with the ISO file. I selected everything right, the right language (English United States) but before hitting install, it said that its gonna delete all apps and whatever because the installation is in a different language than what i am using right now. Then i joined Windows Insider Program Beta to see if i can get the update like that, but i got instead "Windows 11, version 23H2" which is the version that i currently have, is it gonna delete my data and files or should i let it install?

    And then

    Installation instructions (ISO):

    1. If you want to install Windows 11 directly from the ISO file without using a DVD or USB flash drive, you can do so by mounting the ISO file. This will perform an upgrade of your current operating system to Windows 11.
    2. To mount the ISO file:
      • Go to the location where you downloaded the ISO file. Then, right-click the ISO file and select  Properties .
      • On the "General" tab, click "Change…" where it says, “Opens with:" and select Windows Explorer for the program you would like to use to open ISO files and select  Apply .
      • Right-click the ISO file and select  Mount .
      • This will create a “virtual” bootable disc. Double-click on it to view the files within. Double-click  setup.exe  to start Windows 11 setup.
