    Will there be a way for insiders to manually access the switch to Win11? My system health check all came back good, and I have been in the Beta ring for years but just wondering if we can access it manually or as a dual boot to check any compatibility experience testing?

    Also, my assumption is all windows10 software will typically be operational with WIndows11? Is there any anticipated software types we should be prepared for potential complications? WSL2, Gaming software from Razer (Synapse 3 & Cortex), Digital Media production software and hardware (i.e. FL Studio or MIDI input devices?

    Just looking to make sure the functions that my systems run regularly are expected to operate with full functionality post-upgrade, with the understanding there could always be unexpected issues that could be encountered.

    Thanks for all the effort getting the next stage to Beta. Windows 10 has accomplished, the next step is highly anticipated, really hope for growth in AR! Or that I could afford to pick up a HoloLens 2 headset to experience Windows 11 within Augmented Reality.
