Two things to have in mind, if you choose to upgrade a current install to Win11.įirst, make a backup. However, because the platform is not yet stable and likely not bug free, we can’t guarantee that we will have a resolution for you in every case. Given that Win 11 is slated for release in late 2021, on release, we will backport all required changes to Reflect 7 to ensure that it too is compatible - as part of our product support policy.ĭuring the preview period, we welcome support tickets and we will do our best to help you. We will ensure that Reflect 8 continues to work on new Win 11 previews as they are made available. In particular, we expect the driver HLK certification process to be significantly enhanced after they accidentally approved and cross-signed a rootkit driver. However, this is the first preview, and based on experience of previous releases, there will be many changes before the first public release. The first Windows 11 preview was made available this week, and at this point, we can report that Reflect’s core features seem to work well from our testing so far. Any changes to the core of Windows can have an unexpected impact on how we do things, requiring either small fixes or complete re-implementations of core code components. To do backups, Reflect reaches deep into Windows and utilizes a set of drivers to enable certain features. But will Reflect work on Windows 11?Ī new operating system is always met with a mix of excitement and concern for the Reflect development team. The new hardware requirements will be in flux for a while, but this is a good guide to how they stand at the moment. Here at Macrium, we suspect that it is, in part, to introduce a new set of hardware requirements to support their Secured-core PC initiative. There has been much speculation about why they’ve gone ahead with Windows 11. That’s why it came as somewhat of a surprise to many when Microsoft announced on June 24th that a new version of Windows has been in the works. For 7 years, they have been true to their word, publishing changes and new features by way of bi-annual updates. In 2015, Microsoft stated that Windows 10 would be the “last version of Windows”.
