Windows 11 Beta


Most likely "When it is ready".

Have they announced when it is? Nope

All we have is "this summer", which is anytime from now until almost the end of September.

The earliest Windows 11 builds will be released to the Dev Channel only, but Microsoft says they will make their way to the Beta Channel later this summer, at which point any PCs that don’t meet the minimum hardware requirements will be moved to the Release Preview Channel.

As far as I know, none of the participants in these forums are Microsoft employees. They are a helpful lot, but none have access to Microsoft information which isn't already public. If you want speculation, you may get lots of that.

If any members are employees of MS I think it's very smart of them to keep it a secret. Even if they are it doesn't mean that they know anything until the last minute.

I agree with SylenThunder.

I did a quick search on Bing and can find nothing official from MS when the builds of Windows 11 will move to beta instead of/in addition to dev builds.
