The registry still reads Windows 10, probably for compatibility reasons 💩

reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /f ProductName >C:\version.txt

systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" >>C:\version.txt

wmic os get name  >>C:\version.txt

Preparing for Insider Preview Builds of Windows 11

Written By publishedJune 24, 2021
 

Today, we unveiled Windows 11 to the world, and we know Windows Insiders are super excited to get their hands on it! As Panos mentions here, we plan to release the first Insider Preview build for Windows 11 next week. However ahead of that release – we wanted to let Insiders know of a few changes we are making to how they will receive Windows 11 Insider Preview builds going forward.

Since launching Windows 10 six years ago, a lot of hardware innovation has happened in the PC space. For Windows to move forward and take better advantage of the latest innovations, we need to update the baseline system requirements for modern PCs. As a result, Windows 11 has updated hardware requirements which will be reflected in the Windows Insider Program. This blog post will outline what this means for Insiders new to flighting as well as Insiders who have already been flighting Insider Preview builds.

System requirements


These are the basic requirements for installing Windows 11 on a PC. If your device does not meet these requirements, you may not be able to install Windows 11 on your device and might want to consider purchasing a new PC. If you are unsure whether your PC meets these requirements, you can check with your PC Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or, if your device is already running Windows 10, you can use the PC Health Check app to assess compatibility.

There may be additional requirements over time for updates, as well as requirements to turn on specific features within the OS.

Since the official test tool is quite obscure, s.o. made WhyNotWin11 (open source, so it should be safe).

Seems a little odd that Kaby Lake CPU is on the brink of passing vs Coffee Lake not 
Skylake to Coffee lake pretty well same CPU's with little tweaks

Actually KBLwas the first generation without Win7/8 support. I have sth. very exclusive 💩

There is already a discussion at Intel - i can't wait for Monday when Intel's experts will recommend to call Microsoft support...

Yes will be interesting, going to be a flood of disgruntled Kaby Lakers
Have a looksy in my post in 'Projects' you can upgrade Sky/Kaby Lake to Coffee Lake, not sure if it works with Laptop CPU's would need to check if 6th to 9th Gen CPU's run the same socket

I was looking at putting in a Kaby Lake CPU in that computer after Windows Update upated the BIOS which only updated the Microcode and Coffee Lake with Kaby Lake microcode didn't work well

Intel isn't isn't doing to well due to rehashing the same CPU, so now after 6 generations things are coming to head
How do you fix lack of revenue, make the OS not support CPU's that are older but no less capable than their siblings
But AMD are doing well and innovate, do the Kaby Lakers move to AMD platforms
Oh to be Intel in 2021
Windows 11 will probably have to hold of till CPUs are back in full production if the need to upgrade arises

Not had one of either lately
I do occasionally when coming out of sleep

I am annoyed this laptop is not very friendly with Developer mode and drivers
On my Dell it would grab unreleased drivers but my Acer just goes back to a 2019 Intel driver and what ever driver was installed for NV
Miss having very latest drivers, including Wifi/BT
