    Is there a 23H2 Enablement Package for Windows 10?


    Hello!

    I have an HP Stream 7 tablet (Atom Z series CPU, 1GB RAM, 32GB internal storage) running Windows 10 32-bit 22H2 and I would like to upgrade that to 23H2. The problem is the free available space of the internal storage is hardly 7GB and it is almost impossible to reach the minimum required 10GB. Yes, I know I can use a USB flash drive as extra storage during the upgrade, but this doesn't cancel the stupid requirement of 10GB free space in C: To upgrade I must both have at least 10GB free space in C: AND use a USB flash drive for extra storage. Ridiculous! Please don't recommend to do a clean installation. The whole point of this thread is to AVOID a clean installation.

    I also have a PC running Windows 11 and I was able to switch from version 22H2 to 23H2 by installing a special update, the 23H2 Enablement Package (KB5027397). The requirement was to install all updates in 22H2 to reach at least build 22621.2506 and then I could install the Enablement Package to switch to 23H2 (build 22631.2506). So I wonder if there is a similar 23H2 Enablement Package for Windows 10. All Google results pointed to Windows 11 or much older updates such as the Enablement Package for Windows 10 build 1903 to build 1909. If you have a direct link, please reply!

    Many thanks!

    There is nothing known or expected of the sort... however MS may yet decide to change their minds- who knows?

    As has been stated elsewhere on the forum (do feel free to search tenforums) MS has no plans to make any significant build change.

    That said, some small app and GUI changes have happened, and will happen.

    I guess I will leave it at 22H2 for the time being. I thought to clone the internal storage in a 64GB or larger USB flash drive, connect it to my PC, run the system in VMWare Workstation, upgrade to 23H2 without the space issue and then clone back to the tablet, but it's not worth the time and effort. Probably I will do it for the final version 25H2 in 2025. Thank you for your reply.

    The major build version is expected to remain at 22H2 to end of life. Just security and minor GUI changes.
    E.g. added 'system' text on Start Menu entries, the Windows 'Back Up' app, consolidating Calendar, People and Mail into 'New Outlook', adding Copilot..
