Microsoft has released the KB5060829 preview cumulative update for Windows 11 24H2, which includes 38 changes, including improvements to the taskbar and a new PC-to-PC migration experience.
The KB5060829 update is an optional non-security preview update that delivers updates at the end of each month, allowing Windows admins to test bug fixes, improvements, and new features that will roll out to all users during next month's Patch Tuesday release.
However, unlike regular Patch Tuesday cumulative updates, monthly preview updates like this one do not include security updates.
With KB5060829, Microsoft begins rolling out a PC-to-PC migration experience, which enables Windows users to transfer their files and settings from old computers to new ones during the setup process.
While support for this feature during PC setup is not yet available, it will be introduced with a future update as part of a phased rollout.
Redmond has also tweaked the taskbar to fit more app icons when space is limited, a new setting that can be adjusted from Taskbar settings > Taskbar behaviors > Show smaller taskbar buttons.
You can install KB5060829 by opening Settings, clicking on Windows Update, and then on 'Check for Updates.' Since this is an optional update, you will be prompted to install it by clicking the 'Download and install' link.
You can also manually download and install this preview update from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
