Windows 11 24H2 Feature Pack Deployment

Key Points
Pre-Requisites: Ensure that the Feature Pack option is enabled in Patch Database Settings and no updates are declined.
Pre-Deployment Compatibility: Run a Compatibility Check to ensure all target systems meet the required specifications.
Manual ISO Upload: The dependency ISO file must be manually downloaded and uploaded in the Upload Patches view, as dependency patches are not automatically downloaded.
Edition-Specific Patch IDs: Use the correct patch IDs based on edition and upgrade path — for example, 111894/111895 for Windows 10 → 11 Enterprise, and 111896 for Windows 11 → 24H2 Enterprise (with equivalent IDs for Pro and other editions).
Deploy the Patch: Once the patch has been uploaded, deploy the patch to your target computers from the Missing Patches view.
