Dear Stephen,
Can you immediately update to Windows 21H2 when Windows version 23H2 is installed?
It is better to use a PC with Windows 11 installed, which is actually not suitable for this.
Thanks in advance for your response
Hello, yes you can. You can use this guide for that:

Dear Stephen,
First of all, thanks for all the useful information!
Do you know where I can download ISO of Windows 11 22H2?
So not 23H2
Hello, this is possible with RUFUS. Read more: https://www.pc-tips.info/tips/windows-tips/windows-11-of-windows-10-downloaden-met-rufus-software/
Success! :)
Hello Stefan
Perhaps my question is better placed here
So I installed 11 pro and the 22h2 update using this method and it runs well
Can I now just install the 23h2 update using the same method
Kind regards: sjaak

Gentlemen,
I have an Acer spin3 51N with Windows 11 Home 21H2, I have been having trouble updating to 22H2 for some time now, but the PC keeps saying that an update is available.
What is wrong with my PC that prevents it from updating?
The processor is: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1115G4 @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz.
Sincerely,
H. Ferwerda
Hello, this processor is supported. Is Secure Boot and TPM enabled in the BIOS?

Is there enough disk space available?
https://www.pc-tips.info/tips/windows-tips/schijfruimte-vrijmaken-in-windows-11/
Tried installing 22H2 as indicated in the instruction?
Success!

Hi Stefan,
No question, no comment, just a thank you and congratulations on your wonderful initiative!
Regards,
Jan
Thanks! :)
Thanks for the info.
I have read the Link, but I think it is a risk, because I don't want to cause any damage.
Moreover, I find it strange that it is now a problem with 22H2 and with 21H2 I have had no problems installing hah
Thanks again
Gert
Good afternoon. On my desktop with Windows 11 I cannot install 22H2.
The PC meets the Windows 11 requirements and I have enough space [360GB]
The SFC and Disk tests do not cause any problems, but installing in the normal manner gives an error 0x8007001 and via the assistant wizard I get the error message. (Windows 11 setup. We cannot determine if your PC has enough space to continue installing Windows 11. Restart setup)
Made several attempts, but nothing helps
Manual installation via USB option also does not help with the same message of insufficient space
Do you have a good solution?
bvd and greetings Gert
Hello, that's a problem with dynamic disks. Here you will find more information and a possible solution in English. As far as I know, there is no official solution from Microsoft yet, so I don't have a direct solution.

This USB option produces the same error (with the Dutch ISO, but that shouldn't matter, right?): extraction error with the ISO....
Haven't tried the software option yet.
Dear Stephan, thank you for the quick response. The ISO was just on the local hard drive...
I have now tried the Github option and it worked!!! Thank you very much!
Hello, there is something wrong with your computer. You open the ISO with Rufus, I suspect you do that because of the "extraction error". Make sure the ISO is local, not on a network, external hard drive, USB or shared share. The information in this article works just fine, including the previous information you responded to. Try to find the solution why your ISO is not opening properly. Good luck!
Hello, I received the latest version with the ISO USB stick method, thank you, but with Windows update the warning remains that the laptop needs to be updated to Windows 22H2, when you press download it goes on for a few seconds and breaks. it goes off immediately so the message remains with a yellow exclamation mark, I restarted the laptop but that doesn't help, is there also a solution for that.
ps I looked at system info and the 22H2 is actually there.
Best regards. Ton van Dongen
Hello, you can check if 22H2 is on it by right clicking on the Start button. In the menu click on "run". In the run window type: winver.
If it says "Version 22H2" it is installed. If the problem persists, I recommend running the Windows update troubleshooter:
