As next year begins, Windows 10 only has nine months left to live, or just over.

Windows 11 24H2 arrived at the start of October 2024 , and took some important strides forward in making the OS better.

It's built on an all-new underlying platform Germanium which means there aren’t a huge number of visible changes from 23H2 , but there’s a lot of innovation under the hood.

And more noticeably, it's more performant thanks to Germanium , too too.

Windows 11 24H2 is still in the early stages of its phased rollout, with the floodgates not yet fully open.

It should arrive soon enough in 2025 for the majority of PCs.

There are also some extra AI tricks such as Voice Clarity , which dampens background noise.
