How to Update to Windows 11 beta

Published by tealtadpole on August 1, 2021

Yesterday I received an email about Windows 11, they made an announcement that their beta is now available in the Beta Channel. You can read their original post here. I decided to give it a go~

Update to Windows 11 beta steps:

  • Make sure to make a backup of your files before you begin with the whole process
  • You can enroll for Windows Insider program notifications here, after you enroll to the program, you will get the latest updates about Windows 11
  • Go to Settings, search for Windows Insider Program.
Open your Settings > Windows Insider Program
  • Click Get Started, and choose your Insider Program channel. Here I chose for Beta Channel, since Dev Channel usually have tons of bugs.
It’s a good idea not to choose Dev Channel, development builds can be unstable
  • Wait for the download to finish, then restart your PC/laptop
My download time was around 1-2 hours, it depends on your internet connection
  • After you restart your PC/laptop, the installation process should begin automatically. You don’t have to worry with irrelevant Windows 10 updates, Windows will automatically handles it.
My desktop looks fancy now, I love it ~ <3

I don’t have any functional issues at all with my Windows 11 beta. All of my applications are working like usual. But I have to admit that my laptop performance became a little bit sluggish.. But still acceptable for me. While I know that Microsoft will collecting my usage data (hence the beta program), I believe participating in their beta programs can help improving the released version later on ~
