Windows 10 Users Can Now Experience The Initial Beta Of Windows 11 By Subscribing To Windows Insider; Read The Windows Insider Membership Tutorial And How To Download And Install Windows 11 In This Article.

Within a few weeks, Windows 11  was officially rumored to be an abstract concept, and PC users can now experience the beta version of this exciting new operating system.

Just four days after introducing Windows 11, Microsoft released the first public beta (Insider Preview) for the Windows Insider Program members.

This trial is a golden opportunity for Microsoft to use the feedback of users and developers to improve the Windows 11 experience before its official release in October (October-November) and fix its bugs.

Join Windows Insider to get the beta version of Windows 11 for all users who have a Windows PC and a Microsoft account, and you can join the program right now and experience the new operating system; But keep in mind that this initial build may not include some of the features of Windows 11, but it does have a lot of bugs; Therefore, we do not recommend installing this version of Windows on the main system.

Many users prefer to wait until the public release of Windows 11 in July (July-August) or, better yet, until the official release of Windows 11 in mid-October (probably late October); But if you have an extra computer or you do not have a problem with dual boot, and you are impatiently eager to experience Windows 11 before its release, join this article.

Check the minimum hardware specifications of Windows 11

Before going through the Windows Insider registration process, it’s a good idea to make sure Windows 11 is running on your system.

The easiest way to check this is to use the PC Health Check software, which is not currently available on the Microsoft website.

Microsoft first asked users to check the specifications of their PC hardware with this software. Still, after many of them reported that the software did not provide them with enough details, Microsoft temporarily removed it from the site to release a complete version soon.

In the absence of this software, you can check the minimum system hardware specifications required to run Windows 11 that Microsoft has officially announced below:
  • One GHz dual-core 64-bit processor
  • 4 GB of RAM
  • 64 GB of storage memory
  • 9-inch display
  • 1366 x 768 resolution
  • Supports UEFI, Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0
  • Support for DirectX 12 and WWWDM 2.x
In general, if you have purchased a PC in the last four years, your system will get Windows 11.

To check the compatibility of the processor with Windows 11, you can see the complete list of processors whose compatibility with Windows 11 has been officially confirmed; But keep in mind that even Microsoft is not 100% sure about this list; So if your processor is out of date and not on this list, do not despair and see for yourself if your system is capable of running Windows 11.

But the biggest obstacle for many users to install the new Windows is the need for TPM 2.0 support, which, if your system is relatively new, enable in the BIOS.

Because enabling this security microchip depends on the manufacturer’s settings, the steps vary from system to system; But to activate the TPM feature on your system, you can read the TPM activation guide on your PC to install Windows 11.

If you bought your computer before 2016, it is doubtful to support TPM 2.0; But Microsoft has quietly pointed out that under certain circumstances, Windows 11 can run at TPM 1.2.
