Windows 11 support for Teams Rooms on Windows devices

Beginning in June of 2023, Teams Rooms on Windows devices that meet eligibility requirements will be upgraded to Windows 11 22H2. This upgrade will enhance the functionality and overall performance of your device, providing an even better user experience. This will be offered and installed on their devices with 4.17 dot release. Devices that are not eligible due to an incompatible processor will continue to use Windows 10 22H2 release.

If your device cannot upgrade to Windows 11, don't worry. It will still be supported until either the end of Windows 10's General Availability Channel servicing or the end of hardware support from the manufacturer, whichever comes first. 

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise will soon reach the end of its license sales (10/14/2023), causing Teams Rooms on Windows OEMs to switch to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise for manufacturing. However, OEMs who have existing Windows 10 licenses inventory may still use them to provide Windows 10 based images for a while. These images should automatically update to Windows 11 after setup. Nonetheless, all OEMs are expected to eventually transition to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise based images. To ensure the longevity of their device investment, customers should verify that any new hardware purchases are compatible with Windows 11.

The release of Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows application version 4.17 has been postponed from May to June 2023. This app will enable Teams Rooms on Windows devices that meet the eligibility requirements to receive the Windows 11 22H2 update via Windows update. Once the dot release has booted normally at least once, customers can either wait for 8 days for the Windows 11 22H2 update to install automatically or manually check for updates from the Windows Settings app to pull the latest Windows 11 update. For devices that are not eligible, the Windows 10 22H2 release will be offered.

To check if your device is eligible for Windows 11, you can either check the list of eligible Intel processors for Windows 11 at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

To avoid any obstacles that may hinder the Windows update process in your system, we advise updating a few devices manually with 4.16.134.0. Once the release has been installed and the devices have been successfully booted up, switch to admin mode and use the Windows Settings app to check for updates. Depending on the supported devices, you should be offered the option to download and install either Windows 11 22H2 or Windows 10 22H2.
