OK, then. When I made the rounds of my PCs this morning, the Lenovo X1 Extreme got the offer through Windows Update. That’s right: for me, WU starts Windows 11 22H2 delivery right now. You can see what that offer looks like in the lead-in graphic.

When WU Starts Windows 11 22H2 Delivery, Then What?

Even though WU reports that “You’re up to date” as shown, a “Download & install” button is provided for 22H2. After clicking said button, it took about 5 minutes to download. The GUI-based install took another 25 minutes. It took 2 minutes to cycle through update processing before the first reboot. Post-GUI install took 6 minutes more, and then 2 added minutes to get to the intial desktop. At 35 minutes in all, that’s longer than I remember the Windows 10 to Windows 11 upgrade taking.

At the end of the process, Winver shows me running 22H2, Build 22621.521. A quick follow-up check for updates shows a Defender item, and KB5017271 (.NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 CU). I run those, after shooting this screencap:

What about my other production Windows 11 PCs? The Lenovo P16 Mobile Workstation is still on safeguard hold (Intel SST  Audio drivers). I’d already force-upgraded the P360 Ultra, the Ryzen 5800X PC, and the Lenovo Yoga 7i. That means all my production 11 PCs are as upgraded as they get for the moment. It’s a good place to be. I think I’ll enjoy it for a short while, at least…
