UNSOLVED
Windows 11 release date
For those that have not been on YouTube this morning. MS has finally published the date for Windows 11 release. That will be October 5th. So on that date you will be able to download a media creation tool for Windows 11 installation and should be able to purchase Dell computers that either are Windows 11 ready with a free update, or will have Windows 11 installed already. That is supposition on my part and nothing official has been released by Dell. Remember I am not a Dell employee.

You are not alone my friend. There are many of us with "non-compliant" systems that will wade through the MS confusion to make this work.

Obviously they will (have to) provide an ISO file.

Have you seen any announcements to confirm, or deny, there will be an .iso released on Oct 5th?

I normally don't go to YouTube for information so what is said may happen or not.
You probably know how Insiders get the .iso files they use. If case you or others do not know, they are given a URL. At that URL, they are asked some questions regarding which version they require and are verified as an Insider.
Next they are given a link to the .iso which is good for 12 -24 hours. What if Microsoft uses this same process for folks it deems capable of running Win 11?
Another thing to consider. Microsoft has always needed to maintain drivers for devices which may be older. Since they have apparently cut off any devices prior to a certain configuration, Win 11 may not have drivers for older systems.. The folks that would create those drivers, now know they will no longer be held accountable for non-compliant systems so no reason to update their drivers..
Everything is speculation, until it isn't, on Oct. 5th..
