  • The final Windows 11 25H2 Enablement Package (eKB) and ISO file are now available in Microsoft’s delivery servers for both x64 (AMD/Intel) and ARM64 devices.
  • If you are already running 24H2, you can upgrade by installing the enablement package. Users on version 23H2 or Windows 10 must use the ISO for a full installation.
  • Microsoft has not yet officially announced the release date, but signals suggest it may be October 14, 2025.

Although Windows 11 25H2 is expected to launch officially sometime in September or October, ahead of the official release, the direct download links for the final version of the enablement package update (eKB) and ISO file have already been spotted in the Microsoft delivery servers.

The files are available for regular x64 devices, such as those featuring AMD and Intel processors, as well as for Copilot+ PCs and other ARM-based (ARM64) devices.

Enablement Package for version 25H2 download

The Enablement Packages (KB5054156) are available in the form of “.msu” files, and you can download them with these direct Microsoft download links:

To install the update, simply double-click the “.msu” file and select the option to apply it.

ISO file for version 25H2 download

The download links in this list are for Windows 11 build 26200.6584, which is the final release of version 25H2 for the ISO files. Although this is the final build for the ISO file, Microsoft has already begun testing a cumulative update for version 25H2, which already comes with higher build numbers.

These ISO files correspond to the English language for users in the United States:

For English UK, use these links:

It’s important to note that while these files may correspond to the final release of version 25H2, Microsoft hasn’t yet announced the feature update. As a result, these are not intended to be the links for the final version of the operating system.

Windows 11 25H2 ISO file for other languages (via Windows Central):

Windows 11 25H2 and version 24H2 share the same core file system, which means that they’re the same operating systems. This means that if you have a computer running version 24H2, you don’t have to perform an in-place upgrade or clean installation. In this case, you only need to install the enablement package to switch the version to 25H2.

The installation process of the MSU file is straightforward. You only need to double-click the file and continue with the on-screen directions.

On the other hand, if you have a computer running version 23H2 or another version, including Windows 10, then, in this case, you can download the ISO file to perform an upgrade or fresh installation of version 25H2.

If you’re downloading the ISO file, you can mount the image in File Explorer to launch the setup, or you can use third-party tools like Rufus to create a bootable USB media.

While the company hasn’t announced the release date of the new version, the October 2025 cumulative updates are already in preview, using the same KB number for both versions 24H2 and 25H2. This could indicate that Microsoft plans to officially release Windows 11 25H2 on October 14, 2025, during the Patch Tuesday rollout. However, also keep in mind that the company usually releases cumulative updates in the Stable Channel as optional installs before the official release date.

Currently, the only official way to test version 25H2 is by downloading the ISO file through the Release Preview Channel, available on the Windows Insider Program download page. Or by enrolling in the Release Preview Channel using the Windows Insider Program settings on Windows 11.

Also, since both versions of the operating system are identical, technically speaking, Windows 11 25H2 doesn’t introduce new features. However, this comprehensive guide includes all the recent features and changes that Microsoft has added to versions 24H2 and 25H2.
