Since Windows 11 24H2 has been released, the official ISO download pages now point to the 24H2 ISO. The earlier (23H2) ISO is no longer linked via the official download page. If you need an older version of the Windows 10 or 11 ISO, you can get it from UUPdump.net.
Download an Older version of Windows 11 ISO
The Microsoft ISO download page doesn’t offer an option to download older ISOs, such as Windows 11 23H2. However, you can get them from the Microsoft servers using third-party projects.
Method 1: UUPdump.net
Visit the following link:
https://uupdump.net/
Select the OS version you need. For example, the 23H2 link is here.
https://uupdump.net/known.php?q=category:w11-23h2
On the next screen, select the OS build you require.
Then, select the OS language and click Next.
Select the editions you need, and click Next.
(check the tabular column on the right to see the information about editions.)
Click the “Create download package” button.
Note: If you need an ESD file instead of WIM (WIM vs ESD) inside the ISO, choose the Use solid (ESD) compression option before clicking Create download package.
