UPDATED 9/2/2024: On Windows 11, you can check whether version 24H2 is already installed on your computer using at least two methods, and in this guide, I’ll show you how to complete the process. Although the operating system should provide a welcoming experience after an upgrade, letting you know about the new changes, this rarely happens, and it doesn’t display the version number. You will only receive a short overview of the new changes. 

In 2024, the feature update is known as version 24H2 (also referred to as the Windows 11 2024 Update), which reflects the year (24) and the second half of the year (H2) that indicates when the company plans to roll it out.

To confirm that Windows 11 24H2 is installed on your device, you can use the “winver” command or access the “About” settings page.

It’s important to note that the feature update started rolling out on October 1, 2024. On June 18, 2024, the new version was only available for new Copilot+ PCs.

In this guide, I will teach you the steps to confirm if Windows 11 24H2 is already installed on your computer.

• Check if Windows 11 24H2 is installed from Winver
• Check if Windows 11 24H2 is installed from Settings

If the dialog shows “Version 24H2” along with “OS Build 26100.1742” or a higher build number, then the Windows 11 2024 Update is installed.
