How can I download Windows 11 24H2 ISO file after 25H2 release?
I prefer to get it from Microsoft!

Is this site any good?

Microsoft removes the previous ISO when they post their H2 release.

A quick websearch says that the 24H2 x64 USA release has a SHA256 fingerprint of: B56B911BF18A2CEAEB3904D87E7C770BDF92D3099599D61AC2497B91BF190B11 .

There are 24H2 ISOs posted on Archive.org. You can download them and test against this fingerprint readout.
You can use the command promt (cmd) to look up if they're a match. You'd use this command: "certutil -hashfile C:\[full file path]\filename.iso sha256"
Or you can use something like 7zip which does this automatically by right-clicking a file and choosing SHA256.

If there's even the slightest change in the ISO (like even an extra character in a 5gb file), you'd get a completely different SHA256 fingerprint. Do make sure you're downloading the English x64 USA ISO because there are tons of different types for region and language.

Each time I click on the link to download on Archive.org, it gave error msg {Error

Archive.org, seems to have html pages archived but not the links that take you to MS download page.

I don't mean to use the Wayback Machine. Though they do sometimes archive download links. I mean the user uploads to Archive.org

Example:
https://archive.org/details/windo...iso_202501

Make sure to compare the hash fingerprints like I wrote above to make sure you're getting an exact copy of the ISOs originally posted.

.
Is there a reliable site that has the SHA256 value?

Thank you - seems like a new site. Reliable?
What is in it for them? How are they funded?

Actually, I think it's better if you use the site posted by Eyeballer: https://os.click/en

I fiddled around with it and the 24H2 ISO they have has the same SHA256 fingerprint I posted. I'd double check on my own via the cmd prompt of using something like 7zip like I mentioned earlier.

Just do a websearch on "B56B911BF18A2CEAEB3904D87E7C770BDF92D3099599D61AC2497B91BF190B11". You'd get a ton of hits. I assume it's correct.

No idea. I have limited experience on Windows 11. Windows 10 was the last version I used heavily and I'm mostly now on Linux.
