How to Update to Windows 11 beta – Teal Tadpole's Journal

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 ~
