Our tests showed that the Media Creation Tool downloads version 23H2 Build 22631.2715, slightly newer than Build 22631.2428 offered via ISOs or Installation Assistant.

Another change is Windows 11 23H2 ISO generated using Media Creation Tool is about a gigabyte smaller than the 6.2GB ISO files offered on Microsoft’s download portal. I’m told this results from the company’s efforts to optimize “Windows 11 23H2 installation media” ahead of the broader rollout.

It’s also worth noting that Windows 11 size is increasing with every release compared to Windows 10, so if you’re looking for smaller .ISOs, Media Creation Tool, is your new best friend.
