If they don’t, roll back, report it here, and we’ll let you know when the issues are fixed.Ĭonsumers have relied on the good graces of device makers to keep our gadget firmware and software secure and up-to-date. So after you install it, go through the applications and accessories like printers and scanners that are your bread and butter items and test to make sure they work. …and remember – you can roll back to Windows 10, you can easily do so. Review for support from your vendors – see if they all support it at this time – and if they don’t you can deal with not using them if there is an issue. Make sure your backup vendor will support Windows 11 as well. Ensure you have the latest engine from your vendor – and if need be – uninstall and reinstall. (This will be automatic with Microsoft Defender). Next check if you have the latest and greatest engine of your antivirus vendor. Next go to the manufacturer of the video card drivers (don’t google and go to a random driver site) and see if there are newer drivers. Next click on search, device manager, go into your video card driver drivers and review the date of the drivers. Thus you’ll need to use a third party tool like WhynotWin11 instead. Keeping in mind that if you’ve done ANY group policy based deferrals of updates, the Microsoft tool will say that your organization manages patching on your machine. So what should you do if you DO want Windows 11 on your existing computer?įirst off as we’ve said before, check that your hardware can support it. Some of you that are the testers for the rest of your office/fleet may want to have Windows 11 as soon as possible. Don’t worry after I give the all clear to install updates I’ll walk you through the setting to defer 21H2 and ensure Windows 11 won’t get installed in next week’s newsletter.

We don’t know when 21H2 will be released but I think it will be after October 5th. Youtube here Unless you’ve been’ living under a rock, you’ll know that Windows 11 is to be officially released on October 5th. Posted on September 26th, 2021 at 00:29 Susan Bradley Comment on the AskWoody Lounge
