Big Windows 11 Update Incoming — Check These New Features And Improvements
Windows Central reports that Microsoft is working hard to bring the coming Snapdragon X2 chip to its platform.
Windows 11 is due for another big update, and Microsoft has just started testing new system changes. They are now in the Dev Channel for Insiders (early testers). The testing is being referred to by experts as a launch pad for Windows 11 version 25H2, due later this year.
Supporting New Hardware with Platform Changes
Windows Central reported that Microsoft is working hard to bring the coming Snapdragon X2 chip to its platform. These changes have only been tested in the Windows Canary Channel until now, but are now being moved over to the Dev Channel. Windows 11’s latest system, Germanium, is expected to run more efficiently on Snapdragon X2-powered devices.
Windows 11 version 24H2 already runs on the Germanium base, so it seems version 25H2 will, too. It's not officially confirmed, but integrating key features into the Germanium server implies both versions will be based on the same foundation.
What’s Next for Windows 11?
These are some of Microsoft's efforts towards improving the performance of Windows 11 on newer hardware. This means that new versions of Windows will be able to work with the latest processors, such as the Snapdragon X2.
In the next few months, we should know more about version 25H2. Insiders will still be testing the latest builds and providing feedback so that the update gets as refined as possible before going out officially.
While the future holds even better performance and smoother compatibility in future Windows 11 updates, the idea is always to embrace the ever-changing nature of software updates.
