Is there an official Microsoft link I can use to download Windows 11 21H2?

I have software that the vendor will only support if its installed on Windows 11 Pro version 21H2. Unfortunately, we do not have a 21H2 iso and I cannot find this version anywhere within Microsoft's site. It can certainly be found in third party sites but that sounds risky. Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi, my name is Anis. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I'll be glad to help you today.

    Unfortunately you can only download the latest version of Windows 11 from official Microsoft website.

    However, you can download the older version of Windows 11 (21H2) from Archive.org. It's a third party website but, it's considered pretty safe.

    You can actually find any file published by any organization on Archive.

    Here is the link:

    Note: Although it is safe do download from Archive, but please note that archive is a third party website with no association with Microsoft whatsoever.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, you can't install older versions of Windows 11 without third-party software.

    You might be able to go to https://files.rg-adguard.net/version/83fb91c9-107c-bdda-1ffc-2952d753a472 and find the Windows 11 21H1 ESD (you must manually build the ISO or install Windows manually, I can help you with this if you want).

    Hope this helps.
