The release of Windows 11 was decided on October 5, but what about the future schedule?

Windows 11 was announced on October 5th.In addition, Dev Channel of Windows Insider Program has been switched to a development branch that previews the features included in the future release of Windows 11.

　The release of Windows 11 was announced on October 5, 2021.This time, we will explain about Windows release, such as updates to Windows 11 and Windows Insider Program.

Additional about Windows 11 upgrade CPU

　At the beginning of the article last week ("Upgraded CPUs to Windows 11 are subtly added & about the life of Windows 10"), I wrote some additional CPUs for Windows 11 upgraded.

　The only CPU introduced in the article is the only "7th generation" CPU that was clearly added.Judging on the 7th generation, the Core series described whether the CPU number is the first seven, and the Xeon W is added to the list.

　In fact, the list itself contains "missing" and "mistakes" in the first place, and the current English list is also corrected.Note that the leading part of the URL is "EN-US"."JA-JP" remained in June at the time of writing the manuscript.

● Windows Processor Requirements Windows 11 Supported Intel Processors https: // docs.Microsoft.Com/EN-us/Windows-Hardware/Design/Minimum/Supported/Windows-11-Supported-INTEL-PROCESSORS

　For example, the list published in June has a detailed mistake, such as "Intel Core i5+8400" (i5-8400 is correct) and "Intel Xeon Gold6246" (there is no space between Gold and 6246).In addition, there were those that were not included in the list after the 8th generation (such as Intel Core i7-8705G and Core i7-11800H).These seemed to be incorrect when Microsoft was created, and did not list as "additional" because it was correctly listed on the English list.

　Probably, the person in charge of this material did not have an accurate list of Intel CPUs.Even though the CPU information page of Intel also existed properly, there were some things that could not reach the product page even if the category was followed from the processor list page.。For example, as of last week, the Xeon W 12XX series was added to Microsoft's revised Windows 11 compatible processors revised on August 27.

　Perhaps as of June, Microsoft has developed a CPU page based on the same incorrect list as Intel's CPU product page at the time, and developed a PC normal app.

　Intel's CPU products are now available to individual CPUs from classification, but the product specifications are the same as before.If possible, I want you to do a little more specifications.For example, the item of "Mode-Based Execute Control for Ept", which is the function of a virtual machine, is called "MBE: Mode Based Execution". It is described in the bit in VMSC, a virtual machine configuration information).There is a processor that has not been done.

　If my memory is correct, this MBE was installed from the 2017 Xeon Scalable processor (Skylake-SP).According to Microsoft's blogs, etc., it is installed after KABY LAKE, but since there is no MBE item in the CPU specification of Intel, it is not included or not described.Is not clear.I want you to publish a little more data.

Windows 11 will be offered from October 5, but updates via Windows Update gradually

　According to Microsoft's blog (https: // blogs).Windows.com/Windowsexperience/2021/08/31/Windows-11-available-on-october-5/）、Windows 11は10月5日から「利用可能」となり、この日以降、無料アップグレード、プレインストール製品の購入が可能になるという。

　However, upgrades to Windows 11, probably from the participants of Windows Insider Program, and other upgrades to other users will be implemented in step, like the previous Windows 10 functional upgrade.。

　If there is an error in the process, Safeguard Holds will stop distributing to the machine that is likely to cause an error automatically.I explained this area a bit in the previous article ("Why is there a machine that has a large autumn update on Windows 10 but does not fall in the spring update?").However, this Safeguard Holds works only for updates via Windows Update.For example, installation from ISO images can be installed on a PC that occurs.

　There seems to be some stories about Windows 11 upgrades via ISO images to PCs that do not meet the conditions.The first problem when upgrading the Windows version is a license.From Windows 10, the license has a hardware ID on a Microsoft license server.For old PCs that do not have a unique ID, IDs generated from hardware information, etc. are used, and this is combined with the license server.Can I get a license when upgrading a PC that doesn't meet the system requirements of Windows 11 with ISO?That is one point.

　If a license is obtained, is there a patch or the like when a problem occurs?That's what I'm worried about.Of course, if you are a minor problem, you can ignore it and continue to use it, but for example, Windows 11 may not start, start up, but cannot operate at all.

　At this time, if the same problem occurs on a PC that meets the system requirements of Windows 11, patches will be distributed, but if only some PCs that do not meet the system requirements, it is likely that it will not be supported.If such a problem occurs, it will be "crying and falling asleep" (although it is a rare case).

　It may have nothing to do with that situation, but Windows 11 Preview Build 22000.After updating to 176, the condition of the machine became ill.When it starts, the start menu or taskbar icon cannot be operated without displaying.The use of new Windows has such a risk, especially in the preview version.The recovery method is on the following page, and it has been confirmed that this method can be returned.C: \ Windows \ System32 \ cmd from the task manager menu.Start EXE, delete the registry and restart.

● Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22000.176 https: // blogs.Windows.com/Windows-insider/2021/09/02/announcing-Windows-11-insider-preview-build-22000-176/

Windows Insider Program's channel is also restored

　This week, Windows 11 preview build 2200.The distribution of 176 has begun, but as before, DEV Channel has returned to the "RS_PRERELELEASE", which is unrelated to a specific Windows 11 release, and has begun distribution of preview builds 22449.So, if you want to use the preview version of Windows 11, you need to switch to Beta Channel.I was notified of the restart, leaving the DEV Channel in the Dev Channel.

　Here, select "Beta Channel" in "Settings" → "Windows Update" → "Windows Insider Program", select "Beta Channel", "Pause Update", then restart Windows, avoid RS_PRERELEASE installation.can.After restarting, if you cancel the suspension of the update, Windows 11 preview builds 22000.It is possible to update to 176 (Co_release) (but should be careful as the problem has appeared as described above).
