CrossOver is a paid software built on top of open-source components to help you run Windows software on Linux (and macOS).

If you did not know about it, just know it is more of a “premium Wine” experience.

With every release, it makes it convenient for users to install games and software seamlessly, like the [EA app support with CrossOver 23](https://itsfoss.com/crossover-23-0-released/).

What do we with the newest CrossOver 24 upgrade? Let's find out:

## CrossOver 24: What's New?

CrossOver 24 features the latest and greatest [Wine 9.0](https://itsfoss.com/wine-9-0-release/), released just a month back.

Naturally, all the improvements that you get with Wine 9.0 will be reflected through CrossOver 24\. So, if you had an application facing issues, you could get a flawless experience this time (it depends, but possibly!).

In addition to the core update, there have been much-needed tweaks to the UI:

- Drag and drop executables into CrossOver to run/install them
- Drag and drop executable within CrossOver to the target bottle, and run it in a single click
- Create a launcher icon for applications on Linux for quick access

Furthermore, you now get the ability to change the default directory for the bottle:

You can find the option through CrossOver preferences. This gives you flexibility to store big games/apps on an external drive.

## 🛠️ Other Changes & Improvements

With the upgrade, there are more refinements as well, some key changes include:

- Newer 32-bit online Office 365 installers now work
- Crashes fixed with PowerPoint 2016/365
