Windows 11 - Leaked

Yes, as mentioned before Windows is using UEFI as is Endeavour. Also, os-prober is enabled. I made that fix the minute it showed up. As for rEFInd, it look nasty to install from a Windows machine (since I can’t access Linux). Hoping to stay with GRUB, but with enough help I can make the change.

A whole lot new with Windows 11 Build 22000.51.

I’m still running on an unsupported computer.

A little off topic, but Super Grub2 Disk might be able to help for those times when an Endeavour or Arch disk won’t.

Not a lot of time to research tonight, but I wonder if it has anything to do with the new recovery partition https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/hopohx/unnoticed_change_in_20h1_a_clean_install_now_uses/. With an in place install of Win 11, I now have Recovery/EFI/System/Recovery (this is the new one)/Linux. If it is looking for the Linux partition where the new recovery partition is located, I imagine that might be a problem.

Is this another build?

Yep, the one that leaked was an old build. This one came out today.

Downloading it now on my working daily driver. Hopefully that’s okay. :grimacing:

I think it feels quite stable. Having good backups is always good. I run it on a test computer.

I’m not much of a back up person. Don’t keep much so i don’t need to worry. :upside_down_face:

My only concern is for online stuff?

I certainly wouldn’t suggest trying to install rEFInd from Windows! The whole idea is to make this easier!

I was assuming you would access things from the live EnOS environment - the instructions for arch-chroot are on our Wiki. Then literally 2 commands should be enough to get it up and running:

  1. yay refind
  2. refind_install
    after those - a reboot should have you with a choice presented at boot,

I’m not sure what you mean. For Windows? I have never logged in with an online account.

No? Most people use Windows. But most people aren’t linux users either. I would expect that although i do use Windows.

Okay, I use both Windows and Linux. But I going over more and more to Linux.

Just installed no problems. Anyway to change the menu from the middle of the task bar? I also notice Widgets don’t seem to do anything?

Only the menu button I do not know how to move. You can move the whole though. But you probably already know that.

Edit:

You can move everything to the middle on Windows 10 as well. Without any extra program.

yay -S refind or i could use pamac, correct? Then just reboot?

@ricklinux is there an actual Microsoft link for Windows 11 like there was for Windows 10?

You must be a member of the Windows Insider program. However, I use the leaked one. I do not have an MS account. I got the update anyway.

When Windows 11 comes out to ordinary people, there will surely be an iso to download.
