But prepare yourself for a full reinstallation should you get stuck. Note: If there is a normal release that’s newer than the insider version you’re on, you might be able to get out of the Insider track without having to reinstall your whole system. I opted into the Insider program to get it ahead of time, did my research, then tried to get back to the normal release channels. Next, I wanted to try Windows 10 22H2 before it came out so I could see if whether there were major changes. Note: I’ve not seen anything solid indicating Microsoft is blocking 22H2 on devices that have gone around the hardware requirement, but I it was not offered to me.įirst beta tip: If you use the registry-key method to install Windows 11 on an unsupported computer, plan on manually installing feature releases when they arrive. Then I checked to see whether it would be offered 22H2. So, I tried a different computer and used the registry-key method to manually install Windows 11 21H2. Upon investigation, I realized the registry-bypass method only works when you manually download the Windows 11 ISO and running the resulting. The other day, just for fun, I adjusted a registry key to see whether I could get Windows 11 - even though it wouldn’t officially be supported.
