I paid $3000 down payment towards a window for my rental home in 2024. The window was installed in Jan. 2025 and another $3000 paid. Do I depreciate in 2024? How much?

No, it will be depreciated in 2025 as of the installation date. When claiming it on your 2025 return you would include the total cost, including the down payment paid in 2024.
