    Hi.
    Is there a way to force Windows 11 Pro to update from 22H2 to 23H2. I am running on a 2023 MacBook Pro 16" with Apple Silicon (ARM)
    I have reviewed the relevant articles on the Microsoft Support site and the different updates and enablement packages seem to have been installed. However, my OS build stays stuck on 22H2, which will no longer be supported as much starting next year.
    Is there anything I can do to force the update? Are there any limitations relative to TPM or other relevant Intel technologies that I need to spoof to get the updates to download?

    Thanks for your help.

    Ken

    I think I was able to find a solution. I downloaded the KB502739 Enablement package for ARM devices directly via the link on this page and my copy of Windows now displays 23H2.

    that's brilliant - many thanks for the great tip, @KennethT6 !
    first I couldn't find the first two updates mentioned there (KB5032190 and KB5031455) in my update history and couldn't install them either (message: 'The update is not suitable for your computer.'). but maybe they were already installed and simply no longer visible.
    In any case, the installation of the third update "KB502739 Enablement package" succeeded!
    and now my windows shows version 23H2!
