And yet when I want to install 23H2 I can’t get windows update to offer it. Thanks Microsoft.
That's what the article actually means beneath the clickbait: They're going to start offer 23H2 to all PCs, not just these that their ML model thinks have had a "good" update experience. See my comment above.
To get the latest versions, just turn on “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available,” and select Check for updates, which is what the article quoted.
They're rolling it out gradually, as is customary for routine updates.
I'm not sure why this is worthy of a headline, frankly. This is how Microsoft typically does these things. I guess it's the "...with AI involved somehow!" Bit in the title that makes it interesting? I expect that's going to get old fairly quickly.
I've never had issues trying to force it to give me the latest update in the past. I spent like an hour doing everything in my power to get it to install without downloading the full 6 gig iso, but I guess if I want to update this device I guess I'll have to.
I have multiple other devices running Windows 11 and none of them had any issues getting the "upgrade to 23H2" prompt. Not sure why this one is such a problem.
Just go straight to their catalog and download it directly? That’s always been an option for virtually every update ever.
Can you? I can't find the update anywhere on the page.
I found this, which googling the enablement stuff gets me a link to windows 11 forum which supposedly has that enablement.
Oh lmao.
