Microsoft recentlyintroducedWindows 11 24H2in theRelease Previewchannel, allowing a wider insider base to test out the latest version of the OS. But as it turns out, most of them can’t installWindows 11 24H2because it doesn’t appear underWindows Update!

After this clarification, you know what to do if you can’t installWindows 11 24H2in theRelease Previewchannel. But before you do any of that, check ifWindows 11 24H2appears underOptional updatesbecause, for some, it reportedly did!

If it’s not there, simply go toMicrosoft’sWindows Insider Preview Downloads> find, download, and installBuild26100.560forWindows 11> join theRelease Previewchannel > finally, theWindows 11 24H2Build 26100.712should appear.

If you find the process a bit too time-consuming, maybe wait for Microsoft to fix things and streamline the process. Upon going through dedicated forums, I found out that theWindows 11 24H2update is already available to many. Here’s what one user said,
