Final Windows 11 Dev Channel build of 2024 adds support for live captions and real-time translation to Intel and AMD Copilot+ PCs

ASUS Zenbook S 14 with Intel Core Ultra (Series 2).

Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel have one last build to install in 2024. Windows 11 Build 26120.2705 adds support for real-time translation and live captions to AMD and Intel-powered Copilot+ PCs. The update also improves real-time translation for Copilot+ PCs powered by Snapdragon processors.

Until recently, all Copilot+ PCs were powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon processors but there are now Copilot+ PCs with Intel or AMD chips inside. Now, those with Copilot+ PCs powered by Intel or AMD chips can test more features by installing the latest Windows 11 Dev Channel build.

Microsoft started rolling out Copilot+ PC features recently to Insiders with AMD or Intel PCs. Windows Recall, Click To Do, and several other Copilot+ PC features entered testing earlier this month. Insiders in the Dev Channel with select PCs can now try real-time translation and live captions as well.

Below are Microsoft's details about the new features available in Windows 11 Build 26120.2705.
