Hello Windows Insiders! Today we announced Windows 11, and we know you are excited to get your hands on it. You can check out all the details on how to prepare for Windows 11 Insider Preview builds on our blog post.
Once you've reviewed the blog, please use this post to ask any related questions you may have.
We are excited to hear your feedback!!
-The Windows Insider Team
***UPDATE***
For users who are receiving the following message in your Windows Insider Settings:
Your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. Your device may continue to receive Insider Preview builds until Windows 11 is generally available, at which time it is recommended to clean install to Windows 10.
We've made an update to Settings to resolve some issues. Please reboot your device to ensure you have the latest update.

I totally agree with you. I think I understand the same as you, hence my answer to the previous user. It would be implausible if we tried Windows 11 and then were forced to go back to Windows 10. At this point, I must admit that what you say sounds very logical and coherent to me, my friend.
That's a 1st for me, my wife and kids never find me to be logical or coherent ;) I must save it all up for online usage :)
You must have both TPM and Secure Boot enabled in BIOS.
So I have to rollback later?
All modern motherboards have TPM. In windows, run tpm.msc
While we recommend that all PCs meet the full hardware requirements for Windows 11, we are allowing some limited exceptions as we apply these new restrictions. All Windows Insiders who have already been installing builds from the Dev Channel on their PCsup through June 24, 2021 will be allowed to continue installing Windows 11 Insider Preview builds even if their PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements. Insiders with PCs already in the Dev Channel have been installing and giving feedback on builds with Windows 11 features since last year. Our way of saying thanks is to go ahead and give them the opportunity to see everything come together. However, this comes with some important tradeoffs we want to call attention to:
- Because these devices do not meet the new hardware requirements, there may be issues and bugs that impact the experience of Windows 11 on these PCs that may not get fixed.
- If at any point something goes wrong on one of these PCs that requires having to go back to Windows 10, you can use the media creation tool here to go back to the Windows 10. These PCs will not be given another exception and not allowed to upgrade to Windows 11 Insider Preview builds again. They will be treated as a new PC and the minimum hardware requirements will be enforced as highlighted above.
- Once Windows 11 is generally available, these PCs will be opted out of flighting and will not be able to receive future Windows 11 Insider Preview builds. These PCs must clean install back to Windows 10 with the media (ISOs) that we provide and can then join the Release Preview Channel to preview Windows 10 updates.
So even though I'm in the Dev channel and my Z68 Motherboard and i7-3770K CPU don't support TPP/TPM, I (might) be allowed testing Win 11 before it is RTM. But after that point it will be stuck and can't get the RTM build or any future Win 11 updates. It would then have to stay stuck on the last preview build or do a clean install of Win 10? If that's the case, then I'd probably not test the Win 11 builds and stay on the Win 10 Dev channel.
