Atlas v0.4.1
Version v0.4.1 brings more customizability, stability, and compatibility to Atlas, with many critical bug fixes and more Windows feature support. Most notably, Windows 11 24H2 support is now included, and Edge removal is fixed. 😊
📦 Upgrade Info
Important
Due to upgrade support still being a work in progress, this version of Atlas requires a complete Windows reinstall to upgrade from older versions.
If you're currently using v0.4.0, you can upgrade to v0.5.0 once it's released, which will include all the new features and fixes from this release. Additionally, if you're on version 0.4.0 23H2, you can update to 24H2 by upgrading to version 0.5.0 first when it becomes available. Remember that there's no set date for the release of version 0.5.0 yet.
This means that v0.4.0 users will have to wait until the v0.5.0 release to upgrade. See the "Upgrading Atlas" page for more information.
⬇️ Installation
See the "Installing AtlasOS" guide on how to install.
