Microsoft develops future updates for Windows across three development channels (Dev, Beta, and Release Preview Channel). 

This build tracker will provide enterprise and business customers a chronological reference list of all pre-release client builds available in the Dev Channel for Windows 11.

According to Microsoft, the key considerations for Dev Channel builds are:

  • Targets highly technical users who can deal with bugs and disruptions to their workflow.

  • Provides advanced access to the earliest builds in the development cycle for testing the latest features, enhancements, and compatibility.

  • Expect some rough edges and instability during testing. These builds should not be installed on production devices.

  • Features tested in this channel are not tied to any specific future release of Windows 11.

Visit the Windows Insider for Business page for more details and enrollment information.

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
