Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.160 | Windows Insider Blog

ISOs now available

Today we are releasing the ISOs for Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.132 to our Windows Insider Preview Downloads page. You can use these ISOs to do a clean installation or in-place upgrade.

As you use these ISOs to install Windows 11, you will go through the new Windows 11 setup experience (often referred to as the “out of box experience” or OOBE for short) which is designed to build excitement for Windows 11 right from the moment you turn on a new Windows 11 PC for the very first time. Based on your feedback, we have added the ability to name your PC during the setup experience too. After running through the setup experience, the Get Started app is a new first run experience app that will help you quickly get setup on a new PC. Try these things out and let us know what you think!

    Linux is a good operating system, but it much more work to keep maintained and has a steep learning curve. You can't beat Windows for compatibility and drivers. I think the big thing that will hold Windows 11 back are the OS hardware requirements, especially TPM 2.0.

    • There are unofficial ISO's in the wild, and these can be used to infect users computers with malware.

    FYI: the links posted are not "in the wild" by any means and they don't download any leaked version either. The files come from Microsoft servers and the script they provide to make ISOs has been used and scrutinized for years. Never heard of anybody getting infected or their security breached because of them.

    Hi.

    Please find below my comments to your queries.

    "...- There are unofficial ISO's in the wild, and these can be used to infect users computers with malware...."

    Everyone has to be very cautious when resorting to such out-of-the-norm practices.

    "...- After upgrading to W11 the computer was bricked in that the drives became unavailable to the OS after update. Most likely caused by W11 not keeping the RAID (Asus X570 Prime) drivers. So to be able to install Widows 11 I need to load the drivers during initial setup, and having bricked my install having to revert back to W10 is anoying. Also, having the ISO I could actually test if the RAID drivers would work at all, and give feeback to MS. If not, this could easely happen again later...."

    As you are well aware such preview OSes must not be installed on critical mission PCs.

    There are still many months - I believe - for the public Windows 11 to be released. First WU upgrade routines are being tested, I guess. So you will have time to test your raid drivers in the coming weeks, I guess. The manufacturers must have time to test their drivers, too, I guess.

    All I want to say, unofficially, is, this Windows 11 preview is the first that is released to insiders. When the first bugs, rough edges are ironed out, there is a high probability that the first preview ISO will be released to insider community.

    Hope this helps.
