While the official notes for the Windows 11 version of the ADK say that it should be used for Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022, without any mention of “can it be […]
As expected, the first public Windows 11 build was released this morning to Insiders. You can read more about it in the official announcement. Significant changes from the leaked build include the […]
There are some new utilities in the leaked Windows 11 Insider build (21996). The first one is diskusage.exe, a (much) fancier version of the DU utility that has been available as a […]
It wasn’t just the new ADK that was published today. You can also find a bunch of new information on the What’s new in Windows 11 page. This will take some time […]
As mentioned on Twitter, the Microsoft documentation page for the ADK has been updated with a link to the Windows 11 version of the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) and Windows PE […]
Sometimes things change more quickly than you expect, and that’s certainly true with the announcements around Windows 11. You can read my summary here. The biggest surprise for me was the hardware […]
For those that managed to get through the live stream, there was at least one big surprise, but it’s the separate blog posts that provided more information. Here’s a summary, with links […]
Unless you’re living under a rock (in which case, you wouldn’t be reading this either), I’m sure you’ve seen that there was a leaked build of Windows 11 last week. But you […]
There are more rumors flying around about new Windows 11 SKUs (editions), including one called Windows 11 SE. But interestingly that wasn’t in the Windows 11 ISO that leaked. It just had […]
It seems like only it was only a short time ago when the News and Interests feature was delivered through a monthly quality update to all Windows 10 devices. If you didn’t […]
I initially installed the leaked Windows 11 build to see the changes for myself, as I mentioned in my previous post. After the installation, those changes were fairly obvious: But if you […]
If you missed the flurry of articles posted today, there was a leak of an ISO containing a fairly recent build (from May 30th) of Windows 11, build 21996. It’s a production-signed […]
That’s been the rumor circulating for the past few weeks, and it’s looking like the Windows event on June 24th will answer all the questions. Since I left Microsoft before conversations about […]
You can find the new download via the links on this page. Apart from supporting Windows Server 2022 (and only Windows Server 2022, as the page mentions), and fixing the .NET Framework […]
I was working on some Windows PE images the other day and noticed something odd: The size of those images really didn’t make sense. I started off with just a few simple […]
This should really be “SKUs, Glorious (Windows) SKUs, part 3” after the previous part 1 and part 2 posts, but for whatever reason multi-part posts don’t get as many views. The joys […]
First things first: As expected, the SKU vs. Edition distinction that I called out in part 1 was somewhat contentious with some people. I used the terms somewhat interchangeably through the article. […]
Those who have used Windows for many years have seen different editions, also known as SKUs (a carry-over from the days of physical packaged products where “stock keeping units” were IDs assigned […]
It’s a little off topic, but it ties in some of the Secure Boot topics that I had discussed previously, and might be useful to anyone trying such a maneuver in the […]
