WHY IN NEWS

Windows 11 is here to provide you with the greatest experience Microsoft has to offer this year. Later this year, the new operating system will be available as a free upgrade to Windows 10 customers. However, if you can't wait and want to install Windows 11 right now, you may do so by downloading the Insider Preview copy of the latest operating system. This will allow you to try out Windows 11 before it is released to the general audience. Microsoft has not provided a precise date for when Windows 11 will be available as an update for Windows 10 PCs. Regardless, the Redmond, Washington-based corporation plans to release it as early as October. This implies you'll be able to install the latest Windows version on your PC later this year - or early next year. Microsoft, on the other hand, has launched the Windows 11 Insider Preview to allow you to test the newest Windows operating system before it is officially released. Here's how to go about it.

How to Install Windows 11 on Your Computer

Before you begin the steps to download Windows 11 Insider Preview on your PC, keep in mind that Insider Preview builds are intended for testing purposes only and should not be installed on your primary computer. You'll also encounter some glitches and failures, and some of the features shown off by Microsoft last month aren't included in the Insider release. Are you still itching to get started? You can do so by following the procedures outlined below. 

1 )Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program to join the Windows Insider Program. Then press the Register and Sign Up buttons. You may login in to your account and select Start flighting if you're already a member of the Windows Insider group.

2) Examine the Privacy Statement and conditions on your screen before clicking Submit.

3) To download and install the current Windows 11 build designated for Windows Insider Preview, choose Dev Channel from the Insider options and click the Confirm button.

4) The Microsoft Insider Privacy Statement and Agreement will now be shown on your system. After you've read and understood the statement and conditions, click Confirm. To receive the Insider Preview build, hit Restart Now to restart your system.

5) Make sure you're connected to an active Internet connection after rebooting. Then go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows to complete the process.

6) After that, click the Check for Updates option to see if there are any new updates.

7) Your computer will begin downloading the most recent version from a Microsoft server.

Notably, in order to obtain the Insider Preview release, Windows 11 has specific minimum hardware requirements that must be satisfied. On the Microsoft website, you may find those prerequisites.
