Intune Question Regarding Update Rings - we have an issue where Intune updated machines to Windows 11 Insider Preview that were on Windows 10 and when you attempted to manually update them to Windows 11 the machine was not eligible because of the processor, etc. How did Intune update those machines to Windows 11 Preview if you manually attempted to update to Windows 11 and was stopped.

Sep 28, 2023Hi Rich, interesting question since Intune only configures devices based on available device settings and uses Windows Updates, so doesn't have any way to work around that system. My understanding is that Windows Insider builds are published with the same hardware requirements. So, I'm not sure how your devices were able to get on Win11 Insider Preview. The only idea I have is that perhaps those devices were on Insider Preview on Windows 10 and were moved to Windows 11 before the hardware checks were implemented. I don't know if that helps, I hope so!
