Intel has released its first Windows 11 compatible driver. The Graphics (DCH) driver 30.0.100.9684 brings Windows 11 support and can be downloaded from the official Intel site. What is however more interesting is the fact that the page mentions Windows 11 first released as “Windows 11 October 2021” update.
This confirms previous reports about Microsoft planning to publicly release Windows 11 in October 2021. Though it seems that Microsoft will make Windows 11 available to existing and eligible Windows 10 PCs in 2022 only.
Windows 11 brings lots of UI/UX changes and new features over Windows 10. You can read all the new features and changes that Windows 11 brings over Windows 10 in our massive collated changelog.
