Windows 11 24H2 Evaluation ISOs are here, and you can download them

Microsoft has released the Windows 11 version 24H2 Evaluation ISO images, a move that usually signals the final, stable version is near.

The evaluation images available today include Windows 11 version 24H2 Enterprise/LTSC 2024, Windows Server 2025 (based on version 24H2), and Azure Stack HCI version 24H2. They come with KB5043080, bumping the build number to 26100.1742.

The images are available in several languages; you can download them from the Microsoft Evaluation Center. If you need languages other than English, the server edition, or Azure Stack HCI, user Bob Pony has you covered with a list of additional download links.

Windows 11 24H2 Evaluation ISOs don’t require activation and can be used for 90 days. If you want a regular ISO for a Windows 11 version 24H2 consumer version, the wait should be over soon. Famous Windows insider @phantomofearth reported over the weekend that Windows 11 v24H2 retail ISOs are being prepared.
