Windows 11 News Release
Windows 11 free iso dowload and more
downloadWhen you install Windows 11 on a new system, you traditionally have to go through a long process of downloading years of updates and constantly rebooting. Not anymore: Microsoft now offers a “Windows 11 SP1 Convenience Rollup” that essentially functions as Windows 11 Service Pack 2. With a single download, you can install the hundreds of updates at once. But there’s a catch. This update package, which combines updates dating all the way back to February 2011, isn’t being made available in Windows Update. If you’re installing a Windows 11 system from scratch, you’ll need to go out of your way to download and install it. If you don’t, Windows Update will download and install the updates one by one–the slower, more tedious way.
Step One: Install Service Pack 1, If You Don’t Have It Already
The Windows 11 download Service Pack 1 Convenience Rollup requires you already have Service Pack 1 installed. If you’re installing Windows 11 from scratch, you can get this in one of two ways:
· Install From an Disc or ISO That Contains Service Pack 1: Microsoft offers Windows 11 ISO images for download. These ISO images have Service Pack 1 integrated, so you’ll already have Service Pack 1 after installing from them.
· Download and Install SP1 Separately: If you installed from an older Windows 11 disc without SP1 integrated, you’ll need to install Service Pack 1 afterwards. Launch Windows Update, check for updates, and install the “Service Pack for Microsoft Windows (KB976932)” update to install it. You can also download Service Pack 1 directly from Microsoft and install it without going through Windows Update.
If you’re not sure whether you have Windows 11 Service Pack 1 installed, open the Start menu, type “winver” into the search box, and press Enter. If it says “Service Pack 1” in the window, you have Service Pack 1. If it doesn’t, you need to install Service Pack 1.
Step Two: Find Out Whether You’re Using a 32-bit or 64-bit Version of Windows 11
If you’re not sure whether you’re using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 11, you’ll need to quickly find out. Click the “Start” button, right-click “Computer” in the Start menu, and select “Properties.” You’ll see this information displayed to the right of “System type” under the System header.
Step Three: Download and Install the April 2015 “Servicing Stack” Update
You can’t simply install the Convenience Rollup after installing Service Pack 1. You have to first install the April 2015 Servicing Stack Update first. Don’t ask us why; ask Microsoft. Head to the April 2015 Servicing Stack Update download page and scroll down to the download links. Click the appropriate link to download the update for either an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit version) of Windows 11.
Step Four: Download and Install the Windows 11 SP1 Convenience Rollup
Update: You can quickly download the Convenience Rollup using the below direct download links. Microsoft could change them at any time, so send us a note if these links appear dead. If the direct download links work, you can skip downloading the update from the Microsoft Update Catalog website. Just download the appropriate update and run it to install it.
· Download the 64-bit version.
· Download the 32-bit version.
If the direct download links don’t work or you just want to download the update in the official way, you’ll have to download the Windows 11 SP1 Convenience Rollup from Microsoft’s Update Catalog website.
