windows 11 updates using OS installed with Rufus?

[kojack]

I installed win 11 using Rufus on my wifes dell pc. It works great, gets updates etc, but it's still on 23H2,  my system is on 24H2.  Can this be pushed through without having to re install the OS again?

You must have used a 23H2 image to do the install.

 

If the system meets the Windows 11 requirements (CPU, TPM, Secure Boot), you can upgrade to 24H2 using the installation assistant (see link). Or, just wait and don't worry about it, it will eventually be forced down via Windows Update unless you have taken steps to disable automatic updates.

 

If the system does not meet the Windows 11 requirements, you'll need to get an ISO image (at the same page linked above), flash it to USB with Rufus to remove the requirements check, and then install using that. Don't boot from the resulting USB drive, just run the setup file on it from inside of Windows to do an in-place upgrade.
