In September 2024, Windows 11 24H2 will become available for every Windows 11 computer. You can already download the 24H2 update, and in this article I explain how you can download the Windows 11 24H2 preview now.
There are two ways you can use to download 24H2 preview. The first way is through the Windows Insider program. Microsoft allows users to preview and test pre-release versions of Windows operating systems before they are officially released to the public through the Insider program.
Joining the Windows Insider program gives you access to early versions of Windows such as 24H2 and allows you to provide feedback to Microsoft through various channels such as feedback forms, forums, and social media. This feedback helps Microsoft identify and address issues, improve features, and make necessary adjustments for the final release.
The second way is through a website UUPDump. UUPDump is a website developed by the enthusiastic Windows community, specifically those involved in the Windows Insider program. It is designed to help you create ISO files or update packages (also known as UUP – Unified Update Platform) from Windows Update servers.
UUPDump allows you to download Windows Insider 24H2 preview builds in the form of update packages, which contain all the necessary files to upgrade or perform a clean installation of Windows. In this article you can read how.
