Microsoft announced the final build for Windows 11 22H2 is now available through its Insider channel, enabling IT shops to test it on qualified systems before it’s shipped later this year.
Microsoft today said the final version of Windows 11 22H2 has been released to its Insider channel, signifying that the shipping version, or release to manufacturing (RTM), will be generally available later this year. In the meantime, corporate IT departments can get a jump on testing out the final version — Build 22621 — from the Windows Insider Preview Downloads website and begin validating it on systems with the proper hardware requirements. Once an Insider channel subscriber updates a PC to version 22H2, it will continue to automatically receive new servicing updates through Windows Update (the typical monthly update process). Microsoft provides instructions on how to join the Windows Insider Program and join a PC to the Release Preview Channel. In addition to commercial pre-release availability, Microsoft is also offering free support for commercial organizations running the build, meaning IT shops can test the release, and their preferred deployment methods, while conitnuing to get support prior to general availability.
