Here is how to Join Windows Insider Dev Channel on Windows 11 with an unsupported device. Microsoft has started testing the next feature update for Windows 11, scheduled for release in fall 2022. Already, insiders on the Dev channel are receiving rs_prerelease builds with numbers 224XX and higher, which refer to either version 22H1 or 22H2.

Earlier, Microsoft released two new insider builds of Windows 11 for the Dev and Beta channels. Issues at the same moment, the have the build numbers 22449 (Dev) and 22000.176 (Beta). However, there was a server-side issue with the distribution of these builds, which caused many users to fail to get the new releases properly.

A few days ago, Microsoft announced it will release Windows 11 on October 5, 2021. However, the most anticipated feature,the support for Android applications, won't be included in the initial Windows 11 version. The company only promised that this feature will become available to Insiders in the coming months.

Microsoft today simultaneously updates two Insider channels. Insiders in the Dev channel receive Windows 11 build 22449. If you are on the Beta channel, you will get Windows 11 build 22000.176. Here are the changes.

Microsoft sheds some light on how "unsupported PCs" will work when Windows 11 is installed on such hardware. In short, no new builds of Windows 11 will come to them. But they will receive cumulative updates until the general availability of the OS. After that, Windows will prompt the user to return back to Windows 10.

As promised in June 2021, Microsoft kicks older computers of the Windows 11 Insider Program. In June 2021, when Microsoft introduced the first build of Windows 11, the company also announced minimum hardware requirements. Back then, Microsoft said it is willing to give unsupported computers a chance to run Windows 11 to evaluate data and, if needed, make changes in hardware requirements. After months of testing and several builds, Microsoft slightly tweaked those requirements, adding Core-X and Xeon-W CPU families and a sole Intel Core i7-7820HQ to the list of supported CPUs. Now, things has changed.

Support for Android applications is definitely one of the most anticipated features of Windows 11. But we will not have it in the release version of the system, which will begin rolling out on October 5, 2021. Microsoft has announced this in its blog.

After several questionable tips and hints, Microsoft finally announced the official date on which the company will start rolling out Windows 11. According to the official post on Windows Blogs, Windows 11 will be available on October 5, 2021.

New computers with Windows 11 out of the box are coming soon this fall once Microsoft releases the new operating system to manufacturers. Still, many people need a tablet, laptop, or desktop right now, and they want to make sure the computer will get Windows 11. If you are looking for a Windows PC and wonder whether a particular model will get a free upgrade to Windows 10, this article is here to help you.
