Hi folks. The Windows 11 Insider Preview became available today, you can read about that below and also at how Microsoft has once again changed their minds about hardware and TPM requirements.

As promised, Microsoft has released the first-ever Windows 11 build to Insiders enrolled in the Dev channel, bringing build 22000.51. The build does miss out on some of the announced features.

Microsoft has officially released the first Insider preview build of Windows 11, and with it comes a laundry list of known issues, incase you were thinking of making it your main PC, think again.

Microsoft has posted a blog clarifying its stance on the system requirements for Windows 11. The firm will also test the OS on seventh-gen Intel and Zen 1 AMD CPUs to consider supporting those chips.

Spares for socket LGA 1700 / LGA 1800 are already selling online on a Chinese retailer website called Taobao. LGA 1700 is the next-gen socket for Intel's 12th gen desktop Alder Lake-S processors.
