Hey everyone, I've been having a tough time getting my PC to update past Windows 11 version 22H2. No matter what I try, it fails to install the updates. I even went ahead and downloaded the ISO, but that didn't work either. My computer shows that version 22H2 is installed, yet it still prompts me to update to 22H2 again. I'm really at a loss here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Here's a bit about my setup:
- Windows 11 version: 22H2
- Processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core (TM) i7-13700F 2.10GHz
- RAM: 16.0GB
- Brand: ASRock
- Model: B660M-C

Have you tried performing an in-place upgrade? You can do this by opening the ISO file (it’s just a disk image). Make sure you download the same version of Windows 11 that you currently have, whether it's HOME or PRO. Just right-click on the ISO and select 'mount' or double-click it. This creates a new drive letter, and you should see a setup application—double-click that. This process replaces your current 22H2 version without wiping any data or settings. But if your system hasn't been updated in a while, a clean install might be necessary. Fingers crossed it doesn’t come to that!
Unfortunately, I think a clean install might be what I have to do. Thankfully, I don’t have too much saved, and I’ve got a flash drive ready to back everything up.
