Im looking to start up a new table using exclusive 2024 rules, but so far all the players I've found only know 2014, some of them with not a lot of experience.
has anyone made a guide to cheat sheet to help players migrate from 2014 to 2024? Maybe just a page or 2 of things to know, rule changes, hint, tips etc.

There's a new guide that was just released pretty recently that helps with changing from 2014 5e to 2024 5e - I'm pretty sure it was some kind of Handbook...one for Players?
Smarminess aside, the above poster is absolutely right. The mechanics are essentially the same, and most changes that players will need to know will be the mechanics of their characters, which should be written in the new PHB. I'd argue that players without 14 experience will especially be fine, since they won't have to worry about converting rules - they can just learn the new version of the game.

I know what you're thinking: "In that flurry of blows, did he use all his ki points, or save one?" Well, are ya feeling lucky, punk?
While not a conversion guide, an additional piece of advice I have is to have the Rules Glossary at the ready. In the physical book, it's all sorted alphabetically. On the website (you can use the free rules without spending anything) there's basically an index of just the Rules Glossary for you to quickly jump to the right spot.

They probably have, but the number of notable rules changes is actually pretty small. They really are two iterations of the same system.
The character building changes are quite large, but if you've played a 14 character, you can play a 24 character.

Rpgbot has an extensive 2014 to 2024 transition guide, at least for the PHB.
