The Windows Insider program’s Canary channel is hosting its very first Preview of Windows 11, build 25314. Available for a few hours, it introduces a few new features.
As a reminder, the Canary channel starts on the 25000 branch of Windows 11 while the Dev channel remains on the 23000 branch. It is also important to remember that the different constructions are “hot and boiling” that is to say from “very little validation” and accompanied by little “documentation”.
