    As I understand the Windows Insider program for W11 is still ongoing with only compliant PCs now. I understand the build released for general public was the same build non compliant Windows Insiders were on. Build 22000.194. (correct me if I'm wrong)

    I would guess there will be at least a month before any build updates get released as they will be evaluated by the Insider team to ensure they are viable for general installation. I am not sure how this will work with installs for non compliant PCs, you may have reinstall a new build further in time from an updated Windows 11 Creators Tool.

    I've been working with this build on my 12 year old non compliant laptop since we install on 16th Sept from the Insiders program without issue. Updates for my apps come in as does Windows Defender without issue.

    @pburns57,

    Yes, the public release of windows 11 is Build 22000.194 no difference from the one currently on Beta Insider.

    The next Cumulative Update will probably be on Oct 12th.

    Many reports of problems with AMD processors, they will not wait a month to fix the bug.

    As for 12yrs old non compliant machine it was probably kicked out from insider, but it may still get updates at least until MS decides to block them.

    I installed Windows 11 22000.194 of 3 different unsupported machines 2 days ago and they all worked fine, getting all the Defender updates and MS Store updates, at least for now, time will tell.... 😎

    I meant on windows 10 partition only and that is where the health checker is.

    also I never had to sign the accept popup that is relating to unsupported device during the windows 11 install.

    I am not a knowledgeable user per say all I know is it never came up while installing the windows 11 media creation tool with windows 11 download on it.

    on my windows 10 side it has a red x already stating this pc doesn't currently meet all the system requirements for windows 11

    now I did create a new Microsoft account when I was going through the setup of windows 11 and both are linked to its activation green checkmark and all.

    I have looked online and so far what others are stating how activation should read is what I have.

    anyways if there are updates at time of install to windows 11 itself non are showing other than that out of box security update and I have looked online to see if any others have posted what security updates are given at time of install even windows 11 catalog shows nothing.

    I have not had any crashes blue screen of death its running perfectly biggest issue is learning where they moved the same items like internet and bytes sent/received and so on a learning curve most is a more simplified read.

    on upside this is first time windows anything actually found my printer with the correct name etc. on first try so a pat on the back to someone out there it even found the app for printer for the user experience where you can see ink levels and so on.

    It is quite easy to reinstall the PC Health Check on Windows 11 downloading it from the link I gave you earlier. It is very simple to run a show the results.

    Is the red check just on the CPU ? Is there anything else not meeting the requirements ?
