Hi,
I installed Windows 11 in two computers.
In 1st computer, I upgraded Windows 10 to Windows 11 by joining Windows Insider Program.
After joining Insider Program, I selected Dev Channel for upgrade.
Windows 11 upgraded from Windows 10 through Insider Program has completely new Settings.
winver of 1st computer says, 21H2 (OS Build 22000.160)
In 2nd computer, I installed Windows 11 by clean installation using Windows 11 iso and bootable flash drive.
Windows 11 installed using iso has similar Settings as Windows 10.
winver of 2nd computer says, Dev (OS Build 21996.1)
Desktop interface of both Windows 11 looks same but Settings interface of both Windows 11 are completely different.
Please let us know, which Windows 11 could be future of Windows 11?
With Regards
NndnG

Did you download it from the official Microsoft website?
You should only download Windows 11 from official Microsoft website and other downloads are not safe and trusted.

Microsoft officially never released the build number you mentioned. Also, Windows 11 is still in development, so nothing can be said confirmed.
