FULL STORY ======================================================================

Windows 11 is now available for download to Windows Insiders as a preview build, giving selected users the first real look at Microsoft's successor operating system to Windows 10.

Announced on Monday afternoon via Microsoft's official Windows Blog , the release wasn't unexpected as the company said it would be available this
week, but it's still earlier than most were expecting.

In a message to participants in the Windows Insider program, the company
said: "As we finalize the product over the coming months, we will work with you to validate the experience. You will get to try many, but not all, of the new features we showed last week in this early preview. We will bring more features such as Chat with Microsoft Teams and Android apps in the Microsoft Store over the coming months as they are ready for you we are just getting started on this journey together!"

Participants in the Microsoft Office Insiders program can now also download newly designed Office apps like Word and Excel to bring a more unified look across the board. The company also said that Windows Insiders using ARM-based PCs can also try out a new 64-bit version of Office for Windows on ARM. How

In addition to releasing the Insider Preview build of Windows 11 and new preview builds of Office apps, Microsoft also released more information on
the Windows 11 minimum system requirements.

This is due largely to "confusion" about the company's PC Health Check tool . "Based on the feedback so far," Microsoft said, "we acknowledge that it was not fully prepared to share the level of detail or accuracy you expected from us on why a Windows 10 PC doesnt meet upgrade requirements. We are
temporarily removing the app so that our teams can address the feedback."

In lieu of the PC Health Check app, Microsoft updated its minimum system requirements page for Windows 11 to better reflect what you'll need to get
the new OS up and running on your PC when it is released. Windows 11 Minimum system requirements Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with at least two cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or SoC RAM: 4GB Storage: 64GB System Firmware: UEFI, Secure Boot capable TPM: Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Graphics Card: DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver Display: 720p, 8-bit per color channel, at least 9-inch diagonal Internet Connection and Microsoft Account: Windows 11 Home requires an active internet connection and a Microsoft
Account to complete initial, first-use setup of the operating system, or when switching a device out of Windows 11 Home in S-mode.
