14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft rolled out a new Windows 11 preview build this week, and alongside this release, the company also announced a new pack of ISO images.
In other words, Windows 11 build 22499 ISO images are now available for download, though there’s something very important that you need to know. Given this build is a preview released as part of the Windows Insider program, using these ISO images to install Windows 11 means you’re still running a testing version of the operating system.
On the other hand, Microsoft is also offering ISO images for the stable version of the operating system, so if this is what you’re looking for, check them out on this page.
Windows 11 preview build ISO images come in handy specifically to those who want to try out the latest release in the Windows Insider program and therefore experiment with the most recent improvements for the operating system.
Windows 11 rollout currently under way
The ISOs allow users to start from scratch, so if you’re struggling with various problems on the latest preview build, they could lend you a hand dealing with all of them. And last but not least, the ISOs give IT admins the opportunity to test Windows 11 preview builds in virtual machines.
Windows 11 build 22499 comes with one new big feature: it allows users to share open windows right from the taskbar thanks to a new option showing up right below the thumbnail.
Microsoft says this feature is currently available only for a limited set of insiders, with the rollout to advance at a later time as more feedback is collected on how everything works.
In the meantime, the rollout of Windows 11 is still under way, with Microsoft planning to complete it by the summer of 2022. This approach is being used specifically to prevent bugs from becoming widespread, and it was also employed for the rollout of Windows 10 feature updates.
