Do you want to install and test Windows 11, because we will explain you how to get the latest version of Windows on your PC before anyone else.
Windows 11 is now official, and among its many new features, it includes the possibility of installing and running Android applications on the PC, thanks to the integration of the Amazon App Store in the Microsoft Store, and emulation technology provided by Intel.
Although Windows 11 will begin to reach the first computers at the end of the year, before that time arrives, all those who wish to do so will be able to test Windows 11 on their computers thanks to the Windows Insider program.
How to install and test Windows 11 before anyone else?
If you are willing to try the latest Windows features before anyone else, we are going to explain how you can prepare your computer to receive the update to Windows 11.
Register to the Windows Insider program
The first step is extremely simple. The only thing you need to do is to access the Windows Insider program website and register with your Microsoft email address.
Note that you must use the same Microsoft email account that you have associated with your computer.
If you want, you can also sign up for the Windows Insider program from your computer, by going to “Settings” > “Updates and Security” > “Windows Insider Program”.
Check if your PC meets the system requirements of Windows 11
Like every Windows update, Windows 11 imposes a series of requirements that your computer must meet to be able to install the latest version of the operating system.
To check if your computer is compatible with Windows 11, you can download the free Health Check app.
Once you have downloaded it, just run it and it will tell you whether or not your device is compatible with the new version of Windows.
If you do not have your computer at hand, you can find out if it is compatible simply by taking a look at the requirements table provided by Microsoft:
| Minimum system requirements | |
|---|---|
| Graphics card | DirectX 12 / WDDM 2.x compatible graphics |
| Screen | > 9 ″ with HD resolution (720p) |
| Internet connection | Windows 11 Home requires a Microsoft account and Internet connectivity |
On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that, in case your PC is not compatible, Microsoft has confirmed that those people who are already part of the Insider program and have installed previous test versions will be able to try Windows 11 even though its proper functioning is not entirely assured.
How to install Windows 11?
The Insider version of Windows 11 will be available later this summer. Once it can be downloaded, if you have registered your computer in the program, the update will arrive automatically and will be downloaded as a normal update.
