I'm trying to upgrade some computers from Windows 10 to Windows 11 in a network that's not connected to the internet, using WSUS. The upgrades have worked fine, but I've noticed that all the machines are only getting Windows 11 version 21H2 instead of the more recent version 25H2. I've approved both the "Upgrade to Windows 11 (business editions) en-us x64" and "Windows 11, version 25H2 x64 2025-12" updates, yet when I check for updates on the clients, I don't see any available. The client machines indicate that the upgrade to Windows 11 (business editions) is installed, but that the 25H2 update is listed as "Not Applicable." What steps can I take to upgrade these computers from 21H2 to 25H2? Also, is there a reason why I can't just upgrade from Windows 10 22H2 to Windows 11 25H2 directly?

Are you sure your hardware meets the requirements for 25H2? Things like TPM 2.0 and a compatible CPU are crucial. Also, if these machines already have Windows 11 installed, the restrictions for those requirements typically shouldn't apply to feature updates. Just double-check the specifics on your machines to be sure!
You might want to run the `Get-WindowsUpdateLog` command in PowerShell to see if any errors show up. Sometimes the GUI can miss reporting certain issues.
I'll definitely try that! Thanks for the tip!
