Microsoft has presented the new generation of Windows yesterday. Its new operating system, Windows 11 , will arrive at the end of the year as a free update for all Windows 10 users. This is a modern and updated system, a system that will mark a before and after in terms of interface, functions and integrations. with services. However, if we are enrolled in the Insider program, we will not have to wait much longer before we can update to this new version of the OS.
Microsoft has not released new Insider versions of Windows for several weeks now. This is because, after having tested the latest internal changes within ” Sun Valley “, the company wanted to exclusively test internally all interface changes so that the news could remain secret. Although, unfortunately, it has not been like that, since we have two weeks with an internal ISO that allows us to test this OS.
Now that Windows 11 is official , Microsoft has announced that it will return to the Insider versions of its operating system in order to continue with its development. Of course, we must take into account some changes.
What the new Windows 11 Insider program will look like
Hardware has changed a lot in the last 6 years, since Windows 10 came to our computers. For this reason, the new Microsoft operating system has changed the minimum and recommended requirements . And this change will be reflected from the first moment in the Insider users, since depending on the hardware we can have a Windows 11 in one way or another.
If we meet all the requirements to install Windows 11 (including TMP 2.0 and Secure Boot), initially we do not have to do anything. Users within the Dev and Beta channels will go directly to the new Insider channel to be able to download and install this new version without problems. Users within the Release Preview will see Windows 11 as an optional update and will have to download it manually to test it.
If we do not meet all the requirements, but we do meet the minimums, things change. Users within the Dev channel will be chosen to install the Windows 11 builds, but with the warning that there may be problems during installation and use that may impair the experience or make some features unavailable. Users on the “Beta” channel will be moved directly to the Release Preview channel, although they will have the ability to return to the Dev and Beta channels at any time. And lastly, users on the Release Preview channel will not have an Insider build of Windows 11.
Lastly, if we don’t meet the requirements, users within the Dev channel may have a very limited Windows 11 experience, but little else. Users within the Beta and RP channels will not receive a single build.
When will the first Insider build arrive
Following Microsoft’s hiatus, Insider versions of the operating system are about to pick up again. As the company states, users within the Dev channel will begin to receive the first versions of Windows 11 starting next week . And new compilations will be arriving, as before, every week. In addition, after the summer Microsoft wants to have a more or less stable version ready to bring the new Windows 11 to all users within the Beta branch.
We remind you that Microsoft wants to launch Windows 11 by the end of the year , so it cannot lengthen the Insider tests too long. You have to fully debug your operating system in the shortest time possible.
