Windows 11, version 24H2

Windows 11, version 24H2
Predecessor Windows 11, version 23H2

The Windows 11 2024 Update ^[1] (also known as version 24H2, codenamed Hudson Valley ^{[2] [3] [4]} ) is the third and current major update to Windows 11. It carries the build number 10.0.26100.

Overview

The first preview was released to Insiders who opted in to the Canary and Dev Channels on February 8, 2024. The update began rolling out for Copilot Plus PCs on June 15, 2024. ^[5] As of build 26052, the version string has been changed from "23H2" to "24H2". The update began rolling out to all users on October 1, 2024. ^{[6] [4]}

Version 24H2 notably introduces the first Windows 11 based Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) editions, along with new subscription variants of IoT Enterprise editions (both LTSC and non-LTSC). ^[7]

The update will reach end of service on October 13, 2026, for Home, Pro, Pro Education, Pro for Workstations and SE editions. ^[8] The Enterprise, Enterprise multi-session, IoT Enterprise and Education editions will reach end of service on October 12, 2027. ^[8] The Enterprise LTSC and IoT Enterprise LTSC editions will reach end of service on October 9, 2029, and October 10, 2034, respectively. ^[8]

System requirements

For the first time since the release of Windows 11, version 24H2 introduces modified system requirements:

• A x86-64-v2 CPU supporting SSE4.2 and POPCNT CPU instructions is now required, otherwise the Windows kernel is unbootable. ^{[9] [10]} (Only affecting systems bypassing the TPM 2.0 requirement, along with all 24H2 IoT Enterprise editions.)
• IoT Enterprise editions (LTSC and non-LTSC) have officially eliminated a TPM and UEFI requirement, and lowers the minimum DirectX version to 10 from 12, which was previously required on 23H2. ^{[7] [11]}
• The new IoT Enterprise LTSC edition lowers the minimum required RAM to 2 GB, and storage space to 16 GB. ^{[7] [11]}
• ARMv8.1 is now required for ARM variants, dropping unofficial support for ARMv8.0. ^[12] On ARMv8.0 CPUs, the Windows kernel is unbootable.
• ARM variants drop support for 32-bit ARM applications. ^[13] Only 64-bit ARM applications will run.

New features

• Windows 11 HDR background support for HDR monitors. ^[14]
• Support for Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), which enhances data transfer speeds, along with new user interface elements to refresh the list of Wi-Fi networks and indicate scan progress. ^[15]
• Support for Bluetooth LE audio. ^[15]
• Windows 11 Search adds the ability to search for documents and photos using descriptive phrases instead of just file names. ^[14]
• Super Resolution: photographs may now be enhanced up to 8x without sacrificing quality using AI upscaling, which works faster on Copilot+ PCs. ^[15]
• Windows Recall (preview) which lets users find content they have already viewed. Delayed and only being released in preview status due to the amount of negative feedback that it received when it was first introduced, this feature requires Windows Hello for secure access (because it may display sensitive data) and can be disabled. ^[14]
• Windows Studio Effects for cameras and microphones in supported applications including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, and the Microsoft Camera app; effects include backdrop blur, eye correction, portrait lighting, and illustrative filters. ^[16]
• Windows Click to Do (preview): an interactive PC screen overlay with several functions for tasks including text summarizing or sending, blending backgrounds in pictures, and using Microsoft Bing for visual search. ^[14]
