This page explains how to download the Windows 11 24H2 dependency ISO file, upload it to the patch store, and deploy the October 2024 feature update using Patch Manager Plus or Patch Manager Plus — covering all edition and upgrade-path combinations for both Windows 10 and Windows 11 source systems.

Video Guide

Watch the video below to learn how to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 using Patch Manager Plus.

Overview

Released in October 2024, the Windows 11 24H2 update introduces new features and enhancements to Windows 11. For a full list of what's new, refer to the official Microsoft Windows 11 release information page. To install the Windows 11 24H2 feature update, the device must be running Windows 10 version 2004 or a later version. For a complete list of system requirements, refer to the Windows 11 specifications page.

Note
Deployment of the Windows 11 24H2 feature pack is supported only in Patch Manager Plus build versions 10.0.147 and above. The SSP (Self-Service Portal) method is not applicable for performing a feature pack upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 via Patch Management.

Prerequisites

Complete the following checks before beginning the deployment.

  1. Run the Compatibility Check to confirm all target systems meet the minimum requirements that affect upgradeability.
  2. Enable the Feature Pack option in Patch Database Settings:
    • In Patch Manager Plus: navigate to Patch Mgmt → Settings → Patch Database Settings, click the Windows tab, and enable the Feature Pack option.
    • In Patch Manager Plus: navigate to Admin → Settings → Patch Database Settings, click the Windows tab, and enable the Feature Pack option.
  3. Confirm that feature pack updates have not been declined under Decline Patches.

Patch IDs by Edition and Upgrade Path

Use the correct main patch ID and dependency patch ID based on the source OS version and the target edition. The dependency ISO must be uploaded manually before the main patch can be deployed.

Note
Enterprise edition ISO files must be downloaded from the Volume Licensing Service Center. Professional and other edition ISO files can be downloaded from the Microsoft software download page.

Also, the deployment of Windows 11 24H2 feature pack is supported only in Patch Manager Plus build versions 10.0.147 and above. The SSP (Self-Service Portal) method is not applicable for performing feature pack upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 via Patch Management.

Upload the ISO File

The dependency ISO file must be uploaded to the patch store before the main feature pack patch can be deployed. The steps below apply to all edition and upgrade-path combinations.

Note
Applicable from build 2605 and above: Starting from build 2605, manual upload of the ISO file is no longer mandatory for Feature Pack deployment. The following key points apply:
  1. Dependency patches will not appear in the Uploaded Patches view by default.
  2. The system will automatically handle ISO download and deployment during the Feature Pack deployment process.
  3. If the ISO download fails, the corresponding dependency patch will appear in the Uploaded Patches view, allowing manual intervention.
  4. If a previously uploaded ISO is available, deployment will continue using the manually uploaded file.
  5. If patches were previously uploaded and later deleted, the dependency patch will not appear in the Uploaded Patches view but will be automatically re-downloaded during the next deployment attempt.
  1. Navigate to Threats & Patches → Patches → Download Patches → Upload Patches and apply the All Patches filter.
  2. In the Upload pop-up window, browse and select the downloaded ISO file to upload.

Deploy the Feature Pack

Once the dependency ISO file has been successfully uploaded, deploy the main patch from the Missing Patches view.

  1. Navigate to Threats & Patches → Patches → Missing Patches.
  2. Filter by Patch Type = Feature Packs.
  3. Select the applicable main patch ID for your edition and upgrade path (refer to the Patch IDs table above).
  4. Click Install Patches to begin deployment.
Tip
For Automated Patch Deployment (APD) tasks, select the Feature Pack checkbox while defining the patch task criteria. Once the dependency ISO is in the patch store, the feature pack will deploy automatically during the next scheduled deployment window.

Feature Pack Deployment in Patch Manager Plus Builds Above 2627

Starting with Patch Manager Plus builds above 2627, the Feature Pack deployment workflow provides a dedicated view for feature pack deployment.

View Available Feature Pack Upgrades

Review the available feature pack updates and confirm the upgrade eligibility of the target systems before deployment.

  1. Navigate to Threats & Patches → Patches → Feature Packs → Feature Pack Upgrade.
  2. Review the available feature pack updates, edition information, upgrade requirements, and system compatibility details.
  3. Identify the target systems and review their upgrade eligibility before proceeding with deployment.

Manage Feature Pack ISO Downloads

During feature pack deployment, the required ISO file is downloaded automatically when the applicable download workflow is supported.

  1. Navigate to Threats & Patches → Patches → Feature Packs → OS File Download.
  2. Review the available ISO files and their download status.
  3. If the automatic download fails, download the appropriate ISO file and upload it through the supported manual upload workflow.

Verify Feature Pack Installation

To review the feature pack installation status on an individual system:

  1. Navigate to Systems and select the target computer.
  2. Open the Feature Packs tab.
  3. Review the detected feature pack, download status, installation status, and reboot requirement, where applicable.

Feature pack updates are tracked separately in the Feature Packs view. Use this view to verify deployment status and determine whether a restart is required.

  1. Navigate to Threats & Patches → Deployment → Automate Patch Deployment.
  2. Review the available feature pack updates and identify the applicable update for the target systems.
  3. Select the required feature pack update and proceed with deployment according to the available deployment options.

Feature Pack Deployment Method for Windows 11 24H2

The Windows 11 version 24H2 Feature Pack is listed in the Feature Pack Upgrade view in supported Patch Manager Plus builds. For upgrades from Windows 10 or earlier Windows 11 versions to Windows 11 24H2, use the applicable Feature ISO patch deployment method.

Note
Unlike the upgrades from Windows 11 24H2 to 25H2 or 26H2, upgrading an earlier Windows version to Windows 11 24H2 is not a Feature Enablement Package upgrade. Installing a cumulative update alone does not change this upgrade path to an enablement package.

To Deploy the Windows 11 24H2 Feature Pack

  1. Confirm the target device meets the Windows 11 24H2 system requirements.
  2. Navigate to Threats & Patches → Patches → Feature Packs → Feature Pack Upgrade.
  3. Review upgrade eligibility and select the Windows 11 version 24H2 Feature Pack for the intended targets.
  4. Deploy the feature pack. Patch Manager Plus uses the Feature ISO deployment workflow for this upgrade path, downloading the required ISO where automatic download is supported.
  5. If the ISO cannot be downloaded automatically, upload the matching dependency ISO using the Upload the ISO File instructions above, then retry deployment.

You can review ISO download status under Threats & Patches → Patches → Feature Packs → OS File Download and verify deployment on the target system's Feature Packs tab.
