So this depends. There were 2 build updates after 22000.194. As my laptop was non compliant I didn't get them. You need to run the check tool to verify your PC is compliant. If it is I would suggest backing all your folders and files up then doing a fresh installation of Windows 11.
Would it be best to back up the device before the windows 11 update? Im just worried that the device would be memory wiped due to the update to windows 11.
will people using insider build 22000.194 get actual windows 11 upgrade?
I was on the Windows Insider Dev program with my 12 year old non compliant HP laptop. Never had any real issues throughout the program other than some of the past reported bugs everyone got. I stopped getting new builds after 22000.194. My laptop is running great on this build and have not had any issues with it at all, so rather than lose it at this time by doing a clean install of Windows 10 I will continue on this build. I have said from day 1 this is a money making exercise by MS to get people to buy new hardware as the majority of current PCs will never comply with the excessive requirements imposed by MS.
