Windows 11

The next feature update for Windows 11 is expected to be released in Spring 2024 with a heavy focus on AI. Dell's promo materials might give us a clue about the release date.


Dell's new XPS laptops support Wi-Fi 7, which requires Windows 11 version 24H1. This version is expected to be available for download in April CY24 and for factory install in August CY24.

Dell's promo materials might be referring to the upcoming, smaller "Moment 5" update. There is no information on whether Microsoft plans to release a big version update for Windows 11 in the first half of 2024. The expected big update might retain the current Windows 11 branding but with version 24H2.


The "Moment 5" update (or version 24H1 according to Dell) is expected to hit the development finish line in February, arrive as an optional update for "seekers" in March, and come out full in April's Patch Tuesday updates. Whatever Microsoft calls the next Windows 11 update, the timeframe mentioned by Dell makes sense.


Take this information with a reasonably sized grain of salt since we do not have any specifics from Microsoft regarding what is coming to Windows this year.
