You can enable DNS over HTTPS in Windows 11 using four methods
reviewed in this post. Microsoft updated the Settings app, so it is now
easy to configure this feature with just a few clicks.
DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) is a modern security protocol for the Internet.
The idea behind it is to protect the users' privacy and security by
encrypting DNS data transferred between the client and server devices.
This excludes man-in-the-middle attacks, since DoH is using HTTPS. This
requires a DoH supported server to resolve encrypted DNS queries coming
from users.
This post will show you various methods of how to enable DoH in Windows 11.
How to Enable DNS over HTTPS in Windows 11 (DoH)
Open the Settings app by pressing the Win + I keys.
Open the Network & internet page.
Click on the Properties button on the right.
On the next page, click the Edit button under DNS server assignment.
Select Manual from the drop-down list at the top of the page.
Specify the DNS server addresses that support DoH using the reference table below.
Select Encrypted only (DNS over HTTPS) from the in the Preferred DNS encryption and Alternate DNS encryption drop-down menus.
If your connection supports IPv6, repeat the previous steps for the its configuration.
Finally, click on the Save button.
You are done. To check if the DoH feature actually works on your device, scroll down the contents of the Network & internet > Properties page. You should see "Encrypted" next to the DNS address value.
You can use the following public DNS over HTTPS servers.
The list of public DNS servers that support DoH
The alternative method is to enable DoH in the Registry. Use it if
for some reason the above method fails, or the Settings app doesn't work
in your session.
Turn on DNS over HTTPS in the Registry
Press Win + R and type regedit in the Run box and hit Enter.
In Registry Editor, navigate to the following path. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters.
On the right, modify or create a new 32-Bit DWORD value EnableAutoDoh.
Set its value to 2
Restart Windows 11.
This will activate DNS over HTTPS, so Windows will start sending and
receiving DNS traffic through secure, encrypted servers. However, you
need to specify the proper DNS server address. Again, use one servers
listed in above mentioned table.
Here is how you can change a DNS server address in Windows 11 without using the Settings app.
By default, Windows 11 allows remote access to all existing users
with Administrator privileges. If you want to add another user, do the
following:
Go to Windows Settings > System > Remote Desktop.
Click Remote Desktop Users.
In a new window, click Add.
Next, enter the user name, then click Check names. Note: If you want to add a user that logs in using a Microsoft Account, enter its email.
Click OK to save changes.
Add RDP users with the classic Control Panel applet
Alternatively,
you can specify user accounts that will be able to connect to your
device over RDP using the classic Control Panel applet. There is a
command to open it directly.
To add RDP users with the Control Panel, do the following.
Press Win + R and type SystemPropertiesRemote, then press Enter.
Click on the Select users... button.
In the next dialog, click on the Add button.
Enter the user name, then click Check names.
If you don't remember the user name, click on the Advanced... button.
In the Select users... dialog, click on Find now.
Finally, select the user account for which you want to allow connection over RDP, and click OK.
Now you can control a Windows 11 PC remotely using available accounts.
There are several ways to enable Remote Desktop in Windows 11. In this
post, we will review them. Like many older Windows versions, Windows 11
has built-in support for remote connections that allows you to control a
computer from another device using an RDP (remote desktop protocol)
client software. Windows 11 keeps remote access disabled by default,
which means you need to change a few settings in Windows before
attempting to access a computer from another device. This article will
show you how to turn on Remote Desktop in Windows 11.
It is worth mentioning that Remote Desktop
Protocol is universal and works with older Windows versions. That means
you can control a Windows 11 PC from Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10,
and vice versa. Note, though, that your PC should run Windows 11
Professional, Educational, or Enterprise SKU if you want to access it
using RDP. While Windows 11 Home can work as a "client" (a device that
connects to a remote PC), you cannot access a computer with a Home SKU.
Fortunately, there are plenty of third-party free alternatives for
remote control, so that should not be a problem.
Tip: You can check your Windows SKU by opening Windows Settings > System > About > Windows Specifications.
Enable Remote Desktop Protocol in Windows 11
Unlike
Windows 10, where the classic Control Panel is the only way to enable
remote connections, Windows 11 has two interfaces for managing RDP.
To enable Remote Desktop Protocol in Windows 11, do the following.
Now your computer is ready for remote connections. Leave the rest of the
settings default. If you plan to connect to a Windows 11 remotely from a
computer with Windows XP or Vista, uncheck the "Require devices to use
Network Level Authentication" checkbox.
Otherwise, leave it on for better connection security.
Enable Remote Desktop in Windows 11 Control Panel
Here is a legacy method that also works on Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7.
Press Win + R and enter the SystemPropertiesAdvanced command in the Run box.
You can also get to the same window in Windows Settings > System > About and click/tap any link in the Related Links section.
Click the Remote tab and select Allow remote connections to this computer.
Again, if you need to access your computer from Windows XP or Vista, uncheck the "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication" option.
This post will show you how to install Windows 11 in Hyper-V Virtual
Machine. We will use Hyper-V, and not VMWare or VirtualBox because
Hyper-V is a native feature of Windows. It is available for free. It
also delivers decent guest OS performance compared with its competitors.
Hyper-V
creates a virtualized computer that runs a guest OS on top of a
physical host. Such a virtualized environment works much similar to a
physical computer. However, it exists in an isolated environment.
Hyper-V includes a hypervisor, a special software that controls access
to physical hardware resources by the virtual environment.
Virtualization
has a number of advantages. For example, it allows to quickly restore a
system to its previous state with snapshots. It also enables quick
deployment of computer systems. Once a virtualized instance configured,
you can migrate the system between physical hosts.
Hyper-V is
available on 64-bit versions of Windows 11, in Pro, Enterprise, and
Education editions. It is not available on the Home edition.
This post will show you how to create a Hyper-V virtual machine with and install Windows 11 in it.
I assume that you already have a bootable ISO image of Windows 11. If not, download it right now.
You now have Hyper-V enabled. Let's create a new virtual machine to install Windows 11 on it.
Create a new Hyper-V virtual machine
Open Hyper-V Manager from the start menu or with the virtmgmt.msc command in Run (Win + R).
Right-click the host computer in the left column, and select New > Virtual machine from the menu.
Click Next in the welcome wizard.
Name your new VM, like "Windows 11".
Optional: If you want to store the virtual machine under a custom location, check the Store the virtual machine in a different location option, and select the drive and/or folder. Click Next.
Specify the memory size in MB for your VM. Windows 11 requires at least 4096 MB.
If you remove the check mark from Dynamic Memory, all the specified memory size will allocated from the host computer once you start the VM.
If you turn on Dynamic Memory, the specified memory size is only allocated on demand.
On the next page, select Default Switch to connect the virtual machine to network.
On the next page, you will be able to customize the virtual drive for
the virtual machine. Specify its size, minimum 64GB for Windows 11, and
click Next.
Select Install an operating system from a bootable image file , and select your Windows 11 ISO image.
Click on finish.
Congrats, you have created and configured your Windows 11 virtual machine. You are now ready to install the Windows 11 OS.
Do the following.
Install Windows 11 on a virtual machine in Hyper-V
In Hyper-V Manager (virtmgmt.msc), right-click the virtual machine, e.g. "Windows 11", and select Settings from the menu.
Select Security in the left pane.
On the right, make sure you have the following options enabled: Enable
Secure Boot, Enable Trusted Platform Module. If not, enable them
(check), and click on Apply.
Switch to the Processor section on the left.
Set the Number of virtual processors value to at least 2.
Now, I recommend you to switch to Checkpoints Settings and
enable checkpoints if they are disabled. That's a really great feature
that allows to quickly restore a broken VM without reinstalling the
guest OS.
Finally, right click your VM, and select Start from the context menu.
Once you see the message Press any key to boot from CD or DVD..., it means you have initiated Windows 11 setup. Press any key to proceed.
If you miss the time to press any key, select Actions > Reset from the Hyper-V menu. Or press Ctrl + R.
Once you see the Windows Setup dialog, continue at the "Do a clean install of Windows 11" chapter in this post on Winaero.
By carefully following the above steps, you will get Windows 11
installed in Hyper-V. It will be your best friend for testing new apps,
settings, and even unstable builds of the OS.
If you are not happy with the changes, you can return to Windows 10 from
Windows 11. Follow the steps in this guide to restore the previous OS
version on your computer.
Windows 11 is now publicly available to all users willing to test the
new OS on compatible hardware or virtual machines. While the system has
many exciting features to offer starting right from the first preview build, it also comes with an extensive list of deprecated or removed features.
Unfortunately, there are also known bugs, and somewhat steep hardware requirements.
It is never a good practice to run pre-release software on your main
computer. Still, if you gave in to the temptation to install Windows 11
and now regret your decision, this article is there to help you to
return to Windows 10 from Windows 11.
What has changed in the roll back process
The
procedure is almost identical to how you roll back from a new Windows
10 version to previous releases or Windows 8.1/8/7. The only exception
is that Microsoft now asks you to provide more information on why you
roll back Windows 11 to Windows 10 and reminds you to reinstall your
apps. Additional feedback helps Microsoft improve Windows 11 before
public release somewhere this year, so take a minute to provide some
feedback.
Do note that if you are using a tablet or laptop, you need to put it on charging before uninstalling Windows 11.
Important:
Going back from Windows 11 to Windows 10 does not wipe your files.
Still, we recommend backing up important data before proceeding.
To return to Windows 10 from Windows 11 and roll back the newest OS, do the following.
Return to Windows 10 from Windows 11
Open the Settings app from the Start menu or using the Win + I shortcut
Go to Windows Update > Advanced Options.
Click the Recovery item.
In the Recovery section, find the Previous version of Windows option.
Click the Go back button.
Specify the reason why you want to roll back Windows 11 to Windows 10. You can simply select For other reasons. Click Next.
In the next step, Microsoft will offer you to check for updates. Click No, thanks.
Next, Microsoft will warn that your computer will be inaccessible for
some time while you return to Windows 10 from Windows 11. Also, you will
lose some settings and might need to reinstall certain apps. As usual,
always back up important data before upgrading or downgrading Windows.
Click Next.
Acknowledge the warning about the password and click Next.
Finally, click the Go back to earlier build button. Be aware
that if you return to Windows 10 from Windows 11, you keep your PC
enrolled in the Windows Insider program. That means you will get a new
Windows 11 build once it is out. If you do not want to risk anymore,
make sure to change Windows Insider program settings once you are back
to Windows 10.
Wait for Windows to finish the process.
That is how you go back to Windows 10 from Windows 11.
