Microsoft’s Windows Insiders program members were in for a treat when the company announced that they would be receiving free USB drives to perform clean installs of Windows 11. These drives are now arriving in some users’ mailboxes ahead of the originally estimated shipping time of six to eight weeks. Here are the details…

Windows Insiders Get USB Drives for Windows 11 Clean Installs Sooner Than Expected

A Twitter user named Noah posted a picture of his USB drive, which proudly displays the Windows Insider logo. Noah shared that the drive offers a spacious 64GB of storage. It appears that Microsoft is delivering these drives faster than previously thought.

The decision to send out these USB drives came when Microsoft introduced the Canary Channel. Insiders using the Dev build were automatically updated to the Canary Channel, requiring a clean install of Windows 11 for those who wanted to remain on the Dev builds. These drives make it easier for users to perform the installation.

Microsoft’s prompt delivery of the USB drives demonstrates its commitment to the Windows Insiders program and its desire to provide a seamless transition for users who prefer to stay with the Dev builds. This move not only simplifies the installation process but also enhances user experience and satisfaction.

As more Windows Insiders receive their USB drives, it’s likely that the number of clean Windows 11 installs will increase, expanding the Dev channel’s user base. The community’s reaction to the new features and updates in the operating system is yet to be seen, but the quick delivery of these drives is a positive sign for the Windows Insiders program.
