Windows 11 24H2 is now generally and officially available for Snapdragon X Plus and X Elite-powered PCs, also known as Copilot+ PCs. In a new support document published on June 15, Microsoft quietly clarified that Windows 11 24H2 is available for Copilot+ PCs, and KB5039239 is the first big update.
“Important: Windows 11, version 24H2 is only available for Copilot+ PCs devices,” Microsoft noted in a support document first spotted by Windows Latest. This support doc specifically highlights the Windows 11 24H2 KB5039239 update, which advances Copilot+ PCs to Build 26100.863.

On Copilot+ PCs, the built-in NPU chip can generate and remove image backgrounds in apps such as Paint and Photos.
