This is how your PC can receive the Windows 11 Build even if it does not meet the requirements

We keep getting news related to Windows 11 and its controversial requirements for a PC to be able to make the jump from Windows 10 to Windows 11. The problem is that if our PC does not have these requirements, we will not be able to receive builds either on the Dev Channel in the Insider Program and we will have to settle for the Release Preview Channel. That, or follow the following steps to bypass the limitation

The requirements that, we already saw yesterday, can also be checked if we meet them with a free and open source application, are raising a lot of dust.With the June 24 announcement, Microsoft also announced that will release a build on the Dev Channel for developers to test Windows 11, a build that can only be released install on computers that have the required hardware specifications or on which we carry out a series of steps.

How to receive the Windows 11 Dev Channel Build

There are not a few users of old computers, or not so old, with Windows 10 that do not support a good part of these requirements, so the tutorial detailed in HTNovo can be a good tool to reverse the situation. And beware, Microsoft's policy of not allowing the arrival of development compilations to computers that do not support Windows 11 is a decision with which you may or may not agree, but it is logicalif they won't be able to install Windows 11.

For the tutorial, remember a method used to be part of the Skip Ahead ring, since the process is very similar. Some steps that each user must take at their own risk, as they mean having to play with the Registry Editor.

"

The first thing to do, as we already saw in the past, is to enroll the device in the Insider Program, something we can do by following the path that leads us from the Start menu to enterSettings, Windows Update and then Windows Insider Program and Start The problem is that this limits us to the Release Preview Channel if our PC does not meet the requirements. Still, we completed the steps to join the Insider Program by restarting the computer."

Once the PC is registered in the Insider Program, two steps must be carried out in the Registry Editor, two steps that can also be reversed. It is about make our PC compatible with the Dev Channel of the Insider Program in Windows 11.

"

We enter the Registry Editor writing Regedit inside the menu search box Start and once inside we follow the following route:"

"

At this point we double click on UIBranch to open the window with the value data and change the value it has, be it Beta or ReleasePreview to Dev. We also change the text on the key in ContentType>Mainline and the text on the key Ring>External"

"

Now we change the path and look for the section Applicability inside the Registry Editor . Is found in:"

"

With this route located we must change a series of parameters and we change the key BranchName>Dev, the key in the file ContentType>Mainline and the key Ring to External. Same changes as before."

"

At this point, all that remains is to exit the Registry Editor, restart the computer and when Microsoft releases the first Build in a few days Developer of Windows 11 in the Dev Channel of the Insider Program we should already receive it, even if our PC does not meet the hardware requirements."
