    I have 3 Machines that are stuck on 22H2 - 2 of them Windows 10 22H2 and one of the Windows 11 22H2

    What those Machines have in common:
    - They are all activated with KMS_VL_ALL_AIO from this very forum
    - They are all officially "too old" for Windows 11

    If I download the trusted, modified Windows 11 ISOs, like "Win.11.24H2.Aio.PreAct.16in126100.2454.Multi.iso" (I tried various older and newer), I cannot perform an Update while keeping my old apps and files.

    If I download the Original 24H2 .ISO from Microsoft, it tells me, my machines are too outdated to apply an update.

    I really don't want to freshly install a new Windows 11 on 3 Computers. Please help me and show me a way I can upgrade my 22H2 to latest updates.

    Thanks in advance!

    Edit: My very first post after 7 years of reading only ^^

    Please stay away from random homebrew ISO releases. Take a look at this project instead.

    Just curious, what is the installed SKU (aka edition) of Windows on these 3 PCs?

    On the windows 11 box, it is

    "Windows 11 Pro for Workstations"

    I dont have access to the other 2 windows 10 boxes right now.

    Thanks for the link, this might be what I am looking for! Reading right now.

    Hmm, does not work. Tried option 1 and 2a, both run the blue installing screen to 99% and then exit with an error.
