14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently released new Windows 11 ISO images for insiders, only a few days before the company is projected to start the official rollout of the new operating system.
The new Windows 11 ISOs allow the installation of build 22000.194, which according to Microsoft’s official changelog, brought only bug fixes and performance improvements without any new feature.
This makes perfect sense given Microsoft is now giving the finishing touches to Windows 11 before the public launch, so the company mostly wants to make sure everything is running properly with no major problem whatsoever.
The final build of Windows 11 to ship to production devices has already been chosen, so now that the new operating system is just around the corner, don’t expect any big changes for the operating system.
Rollout to complete by mid-2022
Microsoft plans to make Windows 11 available for all devices eligible for the new operating system by the summer of 2022, though at the same time, the company says it’ll continue to support Windows 10 according to the original policy.
In other words, Windows 10 will still get updates until 2025, as initially announced.
“New eligible devices will be offered the upgrade first. The upgrade will then roll out over time to in-market devices based on intelligence models that consider hardware eligibility, reliability metrics, age of device and other factors that impact the upgrade experience. We expect all eligible devices to be offered the free upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022. If you have a Windows 10 PC that’s eligible for the upgrade, Windows Update will let you know when it’s available,” Microsoft says.
Just like every other Windows 10 feature update, the rollout of Windows 11 will take place in stages, so not everybody will see the new operating system on day one.
