The latest news coming out from Microsoft is that the Windows 11 release date is announced. It seems Microsoft will allow enthusiasts to install Windows 11 using ISO (even with some unsupported hardware components). You can download Windows 11 insider version ISO.

You can check the Windows 11 minimum requirement to get upgraded to Windows 11. Windows 11 Minimum System Requirements Updated. I have explained the upgrade scenario in the above post.

I think Microsoft is nearing the release of Windows 11 into the production ring, and that is why they are ramping up all the insider build versions. More details -> Windows 11 is available on October 5.

Microsoft released Windows 11 on the 4th of October – One day prior to the previously announced release date.
