Windows 11 Latest Tech Preview

[Tony]

Just a note- now that the dev and beta channels have split, you can expect a lot more instability on dev. Updates can sometimes contain features that aren't even marked for final release yet and are still very buggy.

Jump on the beta channel if you need a more stable experience. You can change in Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program -> Choose your insider settings.

That's why I only have Win11 Dev on my "play" machine.

From one person on the Insider form,

Microsoft Response linked in the thread basically to the post--



In other words, get it working in one build, break it to make changes then fix it. Time will tell in future builds.

I read in an article that Microsoft is not launching Windows 11
But looking at this thread, it seems that Windows 11 is about to launch very soon

I have had my machines on the insider beta channel. The last few Fridays the cumulative updates have been quick and easy so it appears to be very close to the final product. I like Win 11 a lot but then I have never had a problem adapting to a new way of doing things. Running MSFS 2020 on ultra settings has been very good indeed a lot smoother and responsive than it was on Win 10.

Microsoft have said W11 is better for gaming than W10. There are several new Changes I really like, BUT right at the moment cant upgrade to the latest as the insider PC's are to old to install the newer Versions. Not going to spend $$ on buying new hardware just for insider builds.

I "May", ( read as will at some point) change my office PC and build a new one, its all OK / green ticks apart from the CPU.

I just got 2021-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5005635) on my non Windows Insider Pc. Saw as info on this update

"Windows 11 now requires TPM for everyone
After today’s cumulative update, you can no longer install Windows 11 in virtual machines without TPM 2.0. Previously, Microsoft allowed users to install the new operating system in virtual machines failing to meet the minimum hardware requirements. That’s going to change after this preview update."

Back in Business.

Pulled together some parts, bit from this bit from that -- dropped the lounge HDD (W10) onto it, now all green ticks for W11, then installed insider W11 in Hyper-V 22454

Me tinks it needs a widdle bit more memory and to allow upgrades 2GB makes W11 kind of sluggish.

Shows what I know. ZDnet describes it as a "key Windows 11 preview". See here:https://www.zdnet.com/article/this-k...F_emailHash%7D
