Windows 10: Best way for 23H2

Since it's been 3 months since the release, I'm now thinking I should use one of the methods to manually update. I seem to have Co-Pilot working but still on version 22H2. So, there's an enablement package, ISO, and Installation Assistant. Which of the three would be considered the best/safest method?

KB5034123 installation fails on Win11 x64 23H2.

Hi Christine,

Thank you for your reply. The machine was recently upgraded to 23H2 from 22H2 through in-place upgrade. I had to use in-place upgrade as the earlier monthly security update of 22H2 was also failing to install as none of the steps as suggested above by you didn't fix the issue earlier. Do I need to run in-place upgrade again?

 

Cannot install Windows 11 23H2

The build number 22631.2506 implies the device has been upgraded to 23H2 already.

Here are the version/build numbers for Windows 11.

• 22000.xxx is 21H2
  
• 22621.xxx is 22H2
  
• 22631.xxx is 23H2
  

Your system is fully up-to-date. What else you're looking for?

//I'm going to just assume 23H2 doesn't actually exist yet and count it as vaporware.//

No, it's not.

KB5027397: Feature update to Windows 11, version 23H2 by using an enablement package

 

Is there a 23H2 Enablement Package for Windows 10?

Hello! I have an HP Stream 7 tablet (Atom Z series CPU, 1GB RAM, 32GB internal storage) running Windows 10 32-bit 22H2 and I would like to upgrade that to 23H2. The problem is the free available space of the internal storage is hardly 7GB and it is almost impossible to reach the minimum required 10GB. Yes, I know I can use a USB flash drive as extra storage during the upgrade, but this doesn't cancel the stupid requirement of 10GB free space in C: To upgrade I must both have at least 10GB free space in C: AND use a USB flash drive for extra storage. Ridiculous! Please don't recommend to do a clean installation. The whole point of this thread is to AVOID a clean installation. I also have a PC running Windows 11 and I was able to switch from version 22H2 to 23H2 by installing a special update, the 23H2 Enablement Package (KB5027397). The requirement was to install all updates in 22H2 to reach at least build 22621.2506 and then I could install the Enablement Package to switch to 23H2 (build 22631.2506). So I wonder if there is a similar 23H2 Enablement Package for Windows 10. All Google results pointed to Windows 11 or much older updates such as the Enablement Package for Windows 10 build 1903 to build 1909. If you have a direct link, please reply! Many thanks!
