Microsoft is booting ineligible Windows 11 PCs out of the Windows Insider Program

  • 01-September-2021

At the point when Microsoft initially declared Windows 11, it was immediately found that Microsoft had rolled out some exceptional improvements to the system requirements. Above all, there are some severe requirements on which CPUs are supported by the new OS. At the point when it came down to testing in the Windows Insider Program, notwithstanding, the Redmond firm wasn't exactly as severe. Here’s how it worked. In case you were in the Dev channel before the declaration, you'd be permitted to keep awake until Windows 11 comes out. When it's out, you need to move back to Windows 10 or you'll be in an unsupported state, expecting your PC is ineligible (clearly, if your PC is qualified, you're all set). For Beta channel Insiders, they were kicked off of the Beta channel and placed into Release Preview for Windows 10 21H2 testing. Presently, Microsoft has begun kicking unsupported PCs out of the Dev channel of the Windows Insider Program. In case you're in the Dev channel and your CPU isn't on the supported list, you'll probably find that you need to return to Windows 10 to continue to get updates. The transition to the new system requirements hasn't been an altogether smooth one, however, there's a valid justification that things are how they are. Windows 10 versions 20H2, 21H1, and 21H2 are all enablement packages that expand on top of version 2004. However, since the spring of 2020, Microsoft has still been releasing prerelease works in the Dev channel, with none of those features really dispatching in Windows 10. Those prerelease builds eventually became Windows 11. That implies that when Microsoft decided on the new system requirements, it needed to think about a solution for the entirety of the Windows Insiders that wouldn't qualify for Windows 11, yet were at that point running prerelease builds. All things considered, you can't deliver an OTA update from build 20xxx to build 19xxx. The general standard is that if the build number goes down, you need to do a factory reset. Along these lines, the Redmond organization decided to let Insiders on the Dev channel follow along for Windows 11 testing. Clearly, those clients were utilized for telemetry. At the point when Microsoft said it would think about Intel seventh-gen and AMD Zen processors for Windows 11 help, it had the chance to take a gander at information from the entirety of the Insiders that were as yet ready to run Windows 11. That is the way the firm came up with stats saying that supported PCs had a 99.8% crash-free experience, while unsupported PCs have 52% more crashes (which truly just implies that it's a 99.7% crash-free experience). In any case, presently, that run of testing has come to an end. It's in no way enjoyable when you need to reset your PC, yet that is the danger of the Insider Program.
