    So the 25H2 is kinda released, but kinda not, but still kinda is? Since it's not a real RTM?

    What kinda?

    And for the so manieth time, stop thinking in rtm terms, it was released on oemsoc (released to OEM) 2 weeks ago, same ISOs as the ISOs mentioned above.

    Apologies,

    I consistently receive a 403/forbidden if I want to dl from massgrave or the link on this thread. What can I do to overcome this "little" problem?

    What is the easiest way to install 25H2 without any hassle and downloading iso files?

    I have just checked on WSUS.
    It is not available as retail, but likely as Insider Preview which I stopped synchronising long time ago.
    There is inconsistency in the release cycle on various platforms.
    Normally VLSC and WSUS should be consistent.

    Massgrave offers MVS and VLSC ISOs (if business ISOs are lacking, like with the static Techbench consumer links), Official MSFT webpage offers Consumer only, plus we already have the Techbench consumer ISOs on static links, directly from MSFT servers:
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1890879

    If we only did the official thing then there never would have been HWID on the fly, KMS or OHook activations either,

    And considering that the current 25H2 EP (6717.1.4) has official non ip links and has only changed information, there won't change anything or maybe the LTSC appicability but even that can still be in, considering they can exclude any new features (which LTSC should not get) whenever they want. Currently the 25H2 EP only cuts out 2 apps and doesn't add anything new.

    You must have been living under a rock, how many times we reported that 24H2 is very unstable and the 25H2 won't improve that, the update is for both, the problems just occured by 1 person and an undocumented claim.

    MSFT made a mess of 24H2/25H2 but many problems are pebcak too.
