How to Install Windows 11 Right Now: New Features and Why You Might Want to Wait

 

To enable the dev channel and obtain Windows 11 builds, users must first enroll in the Windows Insider Program and then navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program on a Windows 10 PC.

Microsoft has just released the Windows 11 preview build. Those who have signed up as Windows Insiders can now download the Windows 11 preview, which includes access to the newly redesigned Windows, including the new Start Menu, multitasking features, a revamped Microsoft Store, and more. In addition, the official preview includes an updated File Explorer that simplifies storage management. The preview build includes the majority of the visual changes that Microsoft revealed with Windows 11 last month. The preview also includes improvements to Windows 11's dark/light mode and themes, as well as the new Widgets feature. Those who want to get their hands on the preview build must first sign up for the Windows Insiders program.

To enable the Dev Channel and obtain Windows 11 builds, users must first enroll in the Windows Insider Program and then navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program on a Windows 10 device. Users will need a compatible machine, though Microsoft has stated that it will waive its new hardware requirements during this preview period for those who have been testing Windows builds prior to June 24. Otherwise, users must use Microsoft's PC Health Check app to determine whether or not their system is compatible. We would not advise users to install these previews on a machine they use on a regular basis because they are likely to contain bugs and unfinished features. Microsoft has a list of known issues, which are as follows:

The taskbar will not be displayed on multiple monitors.

When a device with multiple users is upgraded to Windows 11, Settings will not launch.

The Microsoft Store install button may be inoperable in "some limited scenarios" for the time being.

The Windows 11 Preview Build includes almost all of the Windows 11 features, with the exception of two major ones: Microsoft Teams integration and Android apps on Windows. Microsoft is still working on both features, which will be included in future preview builds.

  Microsoft will prioritize the refresh of Win32 apps for Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows 8. Microsoft is not currently working on a stable release of WinUI 3 for UWP apps, preferring to focus on once-legacy Win32 apps for Windows 10 and Windows 11. WinUI is a new user interface for Windows 10 and Windows 11 that includes modern controls and styles for Windows apps. Microsoft officials refer to WinUI as the "native UI platform," and it is used in the Windows shell as well as React Native for Windows. WinUI, according to Microsoft, is designed for today's modern hardware and devices, and it supports the most recent Fluent styling. The majority of the modern controls and styles seen in Windows UWP apps are part of the company's WinUI project, which embodies Fluent Design and provides each app with the "modern touch" that users expect. WinUI 2 is WinUI's second generation work, and it is a library of controls and styles for UWP apps. Microsoft is

  Which computers are capable of being upgraded to Windows 11? Is Windows 11 compatible with my computer?

Some PC manufacturers are simply stating whether your PC can be upgraded to Windows 11 or if you must purchase a new one. Links to the major PC manufacturers who have published such lists are provided below.
