Releasing Windows 11, version 22H2 to the Release Preview Channel

Hello Windows Insiders! Today we are making Windows 11, version 22H2 Build 22621 available in the Release Preview Channel for

blogs.windows.com

However, it has issues with audio drivers, in particular Conexant.

I was able to install the 22H2 onto my Insider machine (which does NOT meet the conditions) using the same registry entries that I used for the 21H2 builds. One difference now is though that an email account is now required to set the system up, however it can be converted to a local account without an email present to be able to log in.
So far everything is working ok. I installed it from an ISO that has been released recently for the 22H2 build.

Good to hear as my PC requires a bit of jiggerypokery to work with Win 11.

I was unable to install 22H2; kept getting an error 0x800707E7 so I gave up.

What size is the drive you wanted to install it to?? Windows 11 requires a minimum capacity of 64GB. That error code points to corrupt user profiles as I just found out. Did you try to upgrade, or did you try a fresh install??

@Grizzly: I ended up biting the bullit and doing a fresh install which took me a whole day to set up everything again but I am now using 22H2.

All the surprises Windows throws upon us little users . You are aware that this build is still an Insider build and for testing only. The real one is supposed to come out in fall
