If you want to stay on 21H1, click on this link and install it on your system. I’ve made it easier for you by including links to download these registry keys. If your machine has a feature deferral setting (that registry key/group policy setting that PK has pointed to here ) it will not upgrade to Windows 11 without you explicitly entering Windows 11. Now for those of us that Microsoft affectionately calls “Unmanaged” – that is those of us that us Microsoft update.įirst – if your machine can’t handle Windows 11 it won’t be offered it. So what’s she’s saying is that if you are a business user and have WSUS or SCCM or have used Windows Update for business policies – YOU have to choose Windows 11 in order to get it. I always call the difference between “managed” (those computers behind some sort of group policy, or patching platform) and “unmanaged” (those computers that have no settings other than to update from Microsoft update) as whether or not you have something between you and Redmond. They will stay there until YOU decide otherwise. On October 5th your devices will remain on Windows 10. Managed devices will NOT AUTOMATICALLY UPGRADE to #Windows11.
