Actually, chances are that you have most of the bits associated with Windows 11 H2 on your PC right now. Microsoft is servicing both Windows 11 24H2 as well as Windows 11 25H2 on the same servicing branch, and the 25H2 update will be pushed to your PC as an "enablement package."
In simpler terms, this means that Microsoft has simply sent most of the code in Windows 11 25H2 to your PC already, and the only thing left to do will be to turn the new, updated features on. The enablement package will basically be a standard patch, delivered to your PC by Windows Update. How big the patch is and how long it will take to install is basically determined by your habits: if you've previously kept your PC up to date, there won't be that much code to install and the process should go far more quickly than the sizeable Windows 11 24H2 update that took place late last year.
In June, Microsoft pitched the Windows 11 25H2 update as "as easy as a restart." It will be rolled out in the "second half of 2025," Microsoft said then.
Naturally, there will be bugs — though with a smaller update hopefully they will be minimal. You can always postpone the Windows 11 25H2 Update by using the "Pause updates" control in Windows Update. That will buy you seven weeks until Microsoft forces you to apply new patches, including Windows 11 25H2. Usually, there's a small cadre

After earlier efforts to reign in generative artificial intelligence (genAI) were criticized as too vague and ineffective, the Biden Administration is now expected to announce new, more restrictive rules for use of the technology by federal employees.

On Tuesday night, the White House issued invitations for a "Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence" event Monday hosted by President Joseph R. Biden Jr., according to The Washington Post.
