Read this at flightsimulator forums - Windows 11 doesnt seem to be a far cry from the current version so not concerned with instant upgrade

"Just installed on Windows 11 dev build and msfs is working fine"

Check to verify your PC can even run Windows 11. There are many requirements that make even slightly older PCs unable to run it. Microsoft has a program you can run to check.

Once the beta drops I'm doing a full reinstall to test it out. I already have the leak running on my laptop and it's very stable. 

Sorry, but isn't it a little early to think about how MSFS 2020 will respond with Windows 11 when Microsoft said the release should be between late 2021 and early 2022?

I like to dock the Taskbar vertically on the left side of my screen (not horizontally along the bottom).  Is that possible in Windows 11?

Just found it on windows updates and installed it..

To get it all I had to do was select dev mode in the "Windows Insider Program",    bottom left in windows 10 updates.

Edit:  Screen shot of DXDiag,  showing that I now have DX12.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gszhZWQ9eaFD8OrOb3pQqRYnjfh3iFb0/view?usp=sharing

Nice did you do a backup or was it pretty straight forward ? thanks Pal

Run a Virtual Machine and test it. Easy.

Curiosity is great but isn't this a bit premature? We have a half-baked sim and a not-quite-ready new OS.
