Today's Quick Tip....
How to download the latest Windows 11 Preview ISO file
Are you itching to get your hands on Windows 11 and you just don't want to wait for October 5 to get here?
Well, if your PC is capable of running it, you can download the ISO file of the latest Windows Insider Dev Build of Windows 11 (AKA Windows 11 Preview Build) and use it to install Windows 11 on your machine today.
Important: The Preview version of Windows 11 is not the same exact version that will be released on October 5.
Microsoft is still squashing bugs and the official release version could (and probably will) vary a slight bit from this version.
After reading all the above, do you want to give Windows 11 a try before it's even officially released? If so, follow these steps to download the ISO file:
1 - If you haven't done so already, visit this page on the Microsoft website and sign up for the Windows Insider program.
2 - Once you're signed up and logged in, visit the Windows Insider Download Page.
3 - Scroll to the "Select edition" section at the bottom of the page and select the Windows 11 Insider Preview (Dev Channel) option.
4 - Click Confirm.
5 - Select your Language and click Confirm.
6 - Select 64-bit Download.
That's all there is to it. You should now have the Windows 11 Preview ISO file sitting in your Downloads folder.
Now all you have to do is use that ISO file to create a bootable Windows 11 installation medium and you'll be all set. To do that, simply visit this page and start reading at the How to flash Windows 11 to your USB drive section.
