Compatibility

Copper Contributor

Hello

I run Windows 11 22H2 22621.1778

I want to join the Insider Program, but it tells me that my computer is not compatible.

Can you tell me if this problem will be solved or what can I do to join Windows Insider ?

To install Windows 11, I've used Rufus.

Sincerely.

Hi,  How to check if your device meets Windows 11 system requirements after changing device hardware - Mi...

It looks like your CPU is incompatible, you currently can't install the Insider version of Windows11 - on an incompatible PC.

 

 

@A1-A1

Microsoft has decided which CPU are compatible for Windows 11. I'm using Windows11 for several months without problem. I've also installed Windows 11 on another computer ( incompatible ) and it works fine on both computers. I'll wait to download the iso when it will be available.

Yes, but you have installed the stable version - you have not enabled the optional diagnostic data and other processes that are necessary for the insider version (unstable to work with the computer properly)

I will add a list of versions from which you can download ISO insider.:Using ISOs - Windows Insider Program | Microsoft Learn

If you install - write, but it will be impossible!

I've enabled the optional diagnostic data.
I've downloaded an iso file. New version of Windows 11 : 23H2 25375.1 on another partition.
So that I can choose with "Windows 11" I want to use ; I can test this Insider Preview.

Yes, but this is an early code -> Canary channel - can cause problems, but good luck - write how you went, regards.

Same here. Mine also was not compatible luckilly I managed to install Windows 11 using rufus and it was working fine. I am using Intel Core I3, 4gb and just added 4gb recently fotal of 8gb of Ram. U cant upgrade your windows to 11 via updates. Only way is to install a fresh copy of windows and download your windows 11 from a reliable source and check hashes before and after you download the OS for safety.
