Hi Peoples,

Anyone know the time frame for when ArcGIS Pro will be certified on Windows 11?

Cheers,

Mark

Esri compatibility testing to reduce IT risks

beyond what was posted in June?

Currently I am using Windows 11 and Pro 2.9 Beta 3 with no issues.  I suspect the certification will appear within the life cycle indicated

Hi Dan,

Our user base are getting notifications from Microsoft their computers are ready for the Windows 11 upgrade, so they are asking if it is OK to proceed. (With Covid and working from home arrangements mainly, not in our core office environment)

Considering Esri are not currently certified  -  looking for a more definitive time frame.

Cheers,

Mark

I would hold off in that case... windows 11 is "fresh" enough it might be worth the wait until Pro 2.9 officially rolls out with its official operating system notices.

Hi, I made the mistake of installing Windows 11 early and many geoprocessing tools in Pro are failing. Turns out going back to Windows 10 will be a headache because it was more than 10 days ago...

So how does one acquire Pro 2.9 Beta 3? Might help me out a lot. Thanks

[DanPatterson]

Pro 2.9 will be out very soon, they just released the 2.9 Help topics which means the release is not far behind

Hi Peoples,

Answer is here.  This article provides a current status on Esri's certification of Windows 11 for ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap. 

FAQ: Is Windows 11 certified with ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap? 

"Our goal is to complete this certification testing in early 2022."

Cheers,

Mark

But Windows 11 caused no issues during the final stages of Beta 3 for 2.9 and no issues so far with the rollout.  

If one is holding out, and you have Windows 11 installed already, see
