Save yourself from bugs and other issues and skip the unofficial version.

An unfinished build of what is assumed to be Windows 11 leaked online, and people are installing it.
Based on early impressions, it looks like Windows users are in for a big overhaul: Screenshots show off an all-new macOS-like desktop layout, a redesigned Windows Explorer interface, new Start menus, and some of the best built-in wallpapers Windows has ever had.

Some folks are excited by the changes, others not so much, but it’s safe to say everyone’s at least curious about Microsoft’s still technically unannounced operating system (it’s assumed the upcoming Sun Valley Windows 10 update will be renamed Windows 11).
That said, you probably shouldn’t install the leaked Windows 11 update.

The reasoning is the same as when we caution against installing beta builds of other operating systems and test apps like Chrome Canary:
Windows 11 is unfinished and unstable.
The leaked Windows 11 is also technically unofficial, so if you install it and something breaks, Microsoft won’t help you fix it—and something will probably break considering how notoriously buggy official Windows Updates are.

Leaks happen and people will always install them. On another note I just got my invite to the Windows 11 beta. The email said they expect to open the beta in late fall.
