If you don’t want to wait, you can use the Installation Assistant or the Media Creation Tool to install 25H2 immediately. These tools are safe and work without breaking anything.
What’s actually new?
If your PC is already on Windows 11 24H2 , the 25H2 release does not bring major new features. It is mainly an Enablement Package . For users on 24H2, the download is very small, about 167KB . This tiny package just switches your PC to the new version and updates the build number.
