    How refreshing to have someone write something positive & enthusiastic about 24H2. No question it has heaps of great features & mods. I have been with 24H2 since October 2nd and it is, indeed, terrific.

    I swear it has improved overall performance & definitely is less resource demanding.

    Sadly, there are some "Known Issues", but fortunately none that apply to me nor my machine.

    Cheers,
    Drew![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/3b419f0c-8aad-451e-a78c-ae9d9a56a5bd?platform=QnA

    Hi Sumit

         Just now downloaded the New Windows 11 24H2 upgrade using the Windows Assist Tool and I have ***NO*** Problems to report. The installation went as smooth as silk. I have a New Great Grandbaby recently added to the family so that's the reason I haven't been on the forums lately. But I'm happy to report that I'm Back and hope to see you all again on the boards.
    

    Hello Everyone
