The major Windows 11 update for 2024 is now available for you to try out — but unless you have an unreleased Windows Copilot+ PC, you won’t be able to receive the full benefits.
Microsoft representatives told me that all Windows Copilot+ PCs will ship with Windows 11 24H2, which will likely be called the Windows 11 2024 Update — unless, of course, Microsoft cobrands it as a Copilot+ release. Meanwhile, Microsoft has put Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26100.712) into the Release Preview Channel, Microsoft said in a blog post.
Normally, that’s a sure sign that the release will debut soon. But Microsoft just politely laid any doubt to rest, stating that the company is making the “this year’s annual feature update” available to preview “ahead of general availability later this calendar year.”
The release will be an interesting one, given that you really can try out just a handful of the new features:
Wi-Fi 7 support: Surprisingly, though Wi-Fi 7 routers are available, W-iFi 7 is not officially supported in Windows 11. Microsoft began testing it in February with Build 26063.

HDR Backgrounds: With Build 23516, Microsoft began adding support for HDR desktop backgrounds. So you have an image of the sun blazing through a gap in the clouds, it should render more correctly. Note that this is different than AutoHDR in Windows 11. Recently, VESA began taking action to help make cheaper HDR displays look better, too.
Voice clarity: In January, Microsoft announced AI-enhanced noise cancellation within Windows, known as “voice clarity“. Basically, this is an under-the-hood improvement which promises to significantly improve the ability of apps to filter out background noise and emphasize your voice instead.
Sudo for Windows: The “superuser do” command (sudo) is being added to Windows. Typically geared at developers working within a console window, this basically allows a user to override whatever protections are in place, like circumventing administrator restrictions.
Smaller features are also being added for everyone: the ability to compress files using 7-ZIP and TAR (and not just ZIP), a scrollable view of the quick settings flyout on the taskbar, and better connectivity for Bluetooth Low Energy devices.
