install windows 11 22h2

The first major update to Windows 11 is now rolling out with several new features and improvements. Microsoft has today started the official rollout process of Windows 11 version 22H2, which is now live for the public globally. While the official update notification might take some time for every eligible PC to get, you can also choose to install Windows 11 manually on your devices.

John Cable, Vice President of Program Management, Windows Servicing and Delivery at Microsoft, has confirmed that the launch process of Windows 11 v22H2 will be similar to the last few updates as the company will leverage its "well-established update systems and processes."

This would translate into a measured and phased rollout via Windows Update, which means your device will only get the notification to update when data shows that your device is ready for this new update. Cable added that the team's "objective is to provide a quality update experience."

- Don't forget to check the system requirements.

2- Steps to download and install Windows 11 version 22H2 manually

The official rollout of Windows 11 v22H2 may take a little time to finish. If you don't want to wait, you can start the manual installation process without depending on Microsoft to send you a notification. If you are a Windows enthusiast and can't wait to install Windows 11, you can manually install and upgrade your machine to the brand new Windows 11 version 22H2. We would, however, recommend our readers wait at least a few weeks (if not months) before they install the latest version on their daily drivers.

  2. Media Creation Tool
