Local Network Update (LAN)
This method applies a desktop update using files pulled from another computer on the local network. It is an efficient way to apply patch updates without needing a USB drive.
When to use this method
This method is ideal for applying minor patch updates (e.g., from 23.3.0 to 23.3.1). For major or minor version updates (e.g., from 23.x to 24.x), the recommended approach is to use the USB Update method or perform a fresh install.

For Devices with < 32GB Storage
If your device has less than 32GB of storage and you are performing a major version update (e.g., from 23.x to 24.x), you must free up space first. Use the tl-comp-manage tool to delete old desktop versions and snapshots before proceeding.
