    Sad to hear you are disappointed with the new Windows. Sometimes the wheels of a company don't turn fast enough for some. Large corporations like Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are like large ships. They don't turn on a dime. Often when there are requirements pushed out like these there is a problem they are trying to solve. If we know more about it we can also help. And just like the big companies, the general public is sometimes slow to adopt some solutions designed to solve a problem , like security. Even if it is an important practice, how many people you know will do a backup or save their important data only on the one device they use ? Can they afford their equipment to quit or for a cyber attack to cause them other kinds of harm ?

    Do you have a solution for this ? Am certain Microsoft would like to hear it.

    Not sure what you call Fast Development build. The current builds are Dev, Beta, and, Preview.

    You need to be an Insider who has been in Dev channel Prior to Jun 24. If you didn't have Dev build up and running on your system prior to that date and just installed today am not sure if you will get the Windows 11 after you get. 21390. The last version of Dev before Win 11 was something like 21390.2500 (there were two updates after 21390 installed that were like test updates).

    Looks like your processor is a current one. Perhaps need to run TPM.msc in order to see if you have TPM turned on.

    TMP is on and ready for use. I have the installed build 22000.51 co-release. Not sure where the FAST DEV came from, but I only had one choice and that was DEV when I signed up for Windows Insider, but I don't remember the date it was installed.

    Who said I was sad about the experience? Sorry, but all I wanted to know was how to verify my identity since I could not find it in Windows 11 so that I could do a backup. I know where to find it in Windows 10, but Windows 11 seems to have either left it out, or moved it and I think I looked everywhere. I do use online backup to OneDrive, but I like a second one periodically - and external drives are not expensive.
