Windows 11 General Discussion

Splinterdog · Mar 23, 2022

Anyone know how I can get on the dev channel with a PC that's not compatible? I used the registry trick to do a clean install but now get the incompatible message when trying to join up.
Thanks.

Currently, I have not seen any workarounds. This might change though.

Pros & Cons lists are highly subjective. Some people(like myself) like it, some people don't. We could give you input for days but in reality, you just need to try it can decide for yourself. I hope that doesn't sound rude. You don't have anything to lose trying it out.

I can't give you a pro/cons list either, except that I was hesitant to go from 10 to 11. I was bored one day and decided to just do a fresh install of 11 and haven't looked back. I was able to find all of my drivers, get everything installed, nothing was broken that I use on a daily basis, and I even decided to keep the taskbar centered. The only tweak that I did was restore the old right-click context menu, instead of using the Windows 11 one. Hopefully that helps some

Thank you for the replies, to be more specific I'm looking for information on missing or incomplete features, commonly reported bugs, potential future headache being discussed or in testing, such as forced Microsoft accounts, and the improvements made since launch, especially those that relate to performance and Ryzen. I just haven't been keeping up on Windows 11's development, and was hoping someone here could get me up to speed with a brief summary.

There's a lot of great info over there. Just be careful not to interact with anyone who starts drama or expresses an opinion that might oppose yours. The mods/admins like to play favorites and ban people without warning, even if you didn't start the drama. So if any of the users over there start pressing your buttons, ignore them. Of course they might ban you for that too.

This warning applies to everyone who reads this. I'm on my third account in 6 months over there.

Thanks.

Perhaps using an Insider ISO to do a clean install and then enroll the device? Though you'd probably still crash against the compatibility requirement at one point or another.

Download Windows Insider Preview ISO

Currently available ISO is for build 22579, which was released last week, so it's quite up to date.

Additionally, there's a tool for offline Insider enroll, but I've never used it, so I can't say crap about how reliable it is (it was updated in February, so it might just work)

GitHub - abbodi1406/offlineinsiderenroll: OfflineInsiderEnroll - A script to enable access to the Windows Insider Program on machines not signed in with Microsoft Account

Me too. I was in the SevenForums for a little while. Forgot my account and had to start a new one. I've seen them ban people for the dumbest things and then they did it to me.

Still, great place to find good info on tweaks on Windows 11.

Hi,
You're going to have top drop some names from over there that are problematic for you bunnyj can be a pest I know Kari to I just report and move a long if they get nasty
You can be a tad to blunt and doing that you can seems very insulting and they just don't stand for it

bunnyj .... Kari

Yup, those two are the biggest problem makers over there. Doesn't matter what you do, whether defending yourself from their unique brand of bullying or just ignoring them, if they decide they don't like you, they'll find a way to get you banned.

ThrashZone said:

True, but that's not a reason to ban someone without any warning whatsoever, twice.

Like I said, ElevenForums is a great resource of technical info on tweaks, but the moderators and admins subscribe to the "Joseph Stalin School for Mediators" type of moderation.

However, we're straying from the thread topic. Let's rope ourselves in...

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22581

UPDATE 3/29: We are starting to roll out Cumulative Update Build 22581.200 (KB5013296). This update does not include anything new and is designed to test our servicing pipeline for builds in the Dev and Beta Ch

blogs.windows.com

Newest Insider build is being flighted to Beta channel, so anyone on Dev that wants to switch back to Release channel without a clean install must switch out to Beta now.

My guess is that the new Windows 11 feature upgrade will land somewhere around May.

Windows 10 support eventually runs out; might as well move over and not have to worry.

Plenty of reviews out there....

Has anyone carried out an in-place upgrade from Windows 10? I only ask because generally I prefer clean installs, but my main machine has paid software that can only be used on one PC and clean installs are seen as a new PC by some of the software companies. It's a pain and I can sometimes twist their arms.
Anyway, I'm tempted to do an upgrade for numerous other reasons and was curious about other points of view.

Still over three years to go. So, not many are gonna be in a hurry yet. Enterprise for sure is gonna take their sweeeeeet time to move.

Hi,
I'm not very fond of either
But I'm less fond of 11 for loosing some basic 10 functions for no real reason.
