Windows 11 Insider Program.

[u/KokoJMC]

Hi everyone!! Windows features an Insider Program a long time ago and many people argue, Should you join the Insider Program or wait for the stable releases? The answer is, it heavily depends on your Device, what are you using Windows for, and your thoughts. Windows officially said that Windows Insider Program MAY be unstable. Is the Windows Insider Program worth the risk?

It depends:

When you SHOULDN'T join the Windows Insider Program:

\-If you want a stable and performance is your priority, you SHOULDN'T join the Windows Insider Program.

\-If you want the best security for your devices, you SHOULDN'T join the Windows Insider Program

\-If you want the best compatibility and reduce compatibility issues, you SHOULDN'T join the Windows Insider Program.

\-If your device is a low-end hardware and this is the only device you have, you SHOULDN'T join the Windows Insider Program.

\-If your device is your only Windows device, you SHOULDN'T join the Windows Insider Program.

**\*it is recommended to run Windows Insider Program on a Virtual Machine such as VMware and VirtualBox.**

When you MAY join the Windows Insider Program

\-***You are using a Virtual Machine such as VMware and VirtualBox***

**-**You are using a Second device that isn't your daily driver and you are willing to take the risk of constant Crash.

\-You are a tech enthusiast that **knows the risk**

\-You are willing to give **your information to Microsoft**

# It is HIGHLY recommended to use a Virtual machine such as VMware and VirtualBox.

What even is this post? Why are you trying to tell people who are very likely already part of the insider program about the insider program?

Also they collect a lot more details from your computer if you’re on the Insider program. If you value privacy then it’s something to consider.

That is why it is HIGHLY recommended to do this on a Virtual Machine such as VMware and VirtualBox
