I've been using the W11 development build for some time. The support site doesn't clearly explain how switching to the public version would work when it becomes available on October 5th. I don’t mind reinstalling Windows, but it would take me a few evenings to get everything configured properly again. Would it be easier to just opt out of receiving new insider builds and let the update happen automatically at release? Or is a complete reinstall unavoidable? (No need to frame this as a W11 problem—we’ve had enough of those already.)

It seems the RTM upgrade requires the Beta version, while the Dev build keeps delivering new Dev releases endlessly. I’m confident @GoodBytes can verify this.

Hi! Your laptop runs an Acer Swift 3 with a Ryzen 5 2500u. The issue is that Windows 11 doesn’t support your processor, but it does have TPM and secure boot enabled. You can still try installing from the UUP dump—downloading the ISO won’t change the hardware limitations, but you might be able to boot into the public release branch if the system detects compatibility. It’s safer to wait for Windows 11’s public release before attempting a fresh install, unless you’re comfortable risking instability.
