Microsoft is rolling out the Windows 11 version 23H2, but not all devices may get it on day one. Microsoft started the gradual rollout of some innovations that are part of the Windows 11 2023 Update (version 23H2) on September 26. The update represents the major refresh of the operating system for desktops, laptops, and tablets that ships with a new scope of features and a slew of improvements. Since this incremental update shares the same core file system as version 22H2, it'll install as a cumulative update for devices already running the 2022 Update. On the other hand, computers using an older release (such as Windows 10 or the original version of Windows 11) will require complete reinstallation to upgrade.

​

Also, since this is technically a new version, you can install the 2023 Update through the Windows Update settings starting on September 26. Other supported methods will be available, including Installation Assistant or ISO file, when the update becomes fully available before the end of 2023. This guide will review the Microsoft servicing approach to upgrading devices to the Windows 11 2023 Update.

Microsoft plans to offer Windows 11 version 23H2 in two stages. On September 26, the company will release an update for version 22H2 that will enable some new features, including Copilot, but the version won't change. Also, the update will first be available for seekers, meaning for users that manually trigger the installation from the "Windows Update" settings. At a later date, an enablement package will become available to enable the rest of the features and change the version number 23H2 for everyone. However, since the feature update is based on the same file system as version 22H2, it won't require reinstallation. Only devices known to have a smooth upgrade experience will be among the first to receive the update. Then, as the update proves more reliable, it'll roll out to other devices.

Windows Update

The easiest way to install version 23H2 is to let the system download and install the update automatically when it's ready for your computer. However, you can open the Settings app in the "Windows Update" settings, turn on the "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available" toggle switch and use the "Check for updates" option to force the upgrade.



Installation Assistant

The Installation Assistant tool lets you update to the latest version when the Windows Update service isn't working. However, anyone can install the Windows 11 2023 Update on a computer as it becomes available.



After version 23H2 becomes available, click the "Download Now" button to download the tool from this Microsoft support website. Once you have the utility, you only have to launch the installer and click the "Accept and install" button.


ISO file

Alternatively, you can mount the official ISO file on File Explorer to launch the same setup experience as when using a USB flash drive. You can download the Windows 11 2022 Update ISO file from the Microsoft support website under the "Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO)" section using the "Download" button.
​

​

Whether you choose to use the Installation Assistant or ISO file, the process will perform a complete reinstallation. Also, creating a temporary backup is recommended in case you need to roll back or recover files.

For additional clarification, the September update only includes some of the new features of version 23H2, and the update WON'T update the version number. After the installation, the system will continue to read version 22H2. Once the company finishes rolling out the new features, sometime before the end of 2023, an enablement package will be released to complete the upgrade, deploying the rest of the new components and changing the version number to 23H2.
