June 28^th, 2021 will be in the history books as the day Microsoft released the first Windows 11 build for all Windows Insiders in the Dev channel.

If you would like to test the new version of Windows now you can even if your computer does not meet all the requirements originally announced by Microsoft as this build has been extended to more CPU families and does not include the TPM 2.0.

If Windows 11 got you excited and you are ready to become a Windows insider I recommend you to check out the links below:

• What is the Windows Insider Program?
• Register for the Windows Insider Program

Once registered, on your Windows 10 computer go to Setting -> Update and Security -> Windows Insider Program and sign in with your Windows insider credentials.

Once your computer is connected to your Insider profile make sure you select the Dev Channel as shown in the following picture.

Go back to the Update and Security and you must see insider build of Windows 11 ready to be installed, the installation process will take some time so if you have missed the big announcement event, I recommend you watch it to get familiar with all the new features.

Please not that if your computer does not meet all the requirements to get Windows 11 once the new operating system is released you will not get access to new Windows 11 builds and need to move back to Windows 10.
