Image Assist support for Windows 11
The November (pending) release of Image Assist version 11.0.0 will support both Windows 10 & Windows 11.
- DIA versions ≤ 10.0.4 supports Windows 10
- DIA versions ≥ 11.0.1 support Windows 10 & 11
Change: With Windows 11, the Image Assist Profile Copier feature is not supported at the initial release. The feature will support W11 in an upcoming Image Assist release. Profile Copier remains available for those building on a virtual machine using Windows 10.
- Family driver packs for Windows 11 > https://www.dell.com/familypacks
(Please don’t try the Win10 Driver packs with your Win11 image, you will get an error.)
Thanks,
Image Assist Dev Team

Please can you confirm when version 11 will be released? Previously, the release date was listed as the 29th October on this post but that now seems to have been removed, has it been pushed back?

It's been pushed at least twice now, and this time without a specific date.
@DELL-Tyler M Can you give us any idea of what the trouble is? Also, I'll gladly volunteer if you need beta testers!

Image Assist 11.0.x is coming shortly, the only thing more important than making it available quickly is making sure the product is solid!
While the changes from the Windows 10 UI and experience for Windows 11 are subtle and innocuous, the Image Assist tool had to do some major work under the hood to delivery against longstanding high expectations for this release.
Windows 11’s new BIOS level dependencies, elevated hardware requirements, drive enumeration modifications, APPX package behaviors, sysprep differences, WIn10-11 upgrade functions, and several back-end security enhancements are just a few of the potentially impactful items this build addresses (while also retaining Win10 support). These changes have continued within several subsequent MS updates since Win11's release.
We have regrettably slipped the Image Assist 11.0.x date to ensure quality for our Image Assist community. We are finishing up testing, more information coming soon!
Regards,
Jesse

Thanks for the offer @Wayne.Osteen, we might take you up on that idea of some members kicking the tires for a future build. We are looking at an external 'Preview build' possibility in the future. The community members have been some of our largest assets with respect to program and tool direction; leveraging that cumulative expertise for a Preview build or Community Technology Preview (CTM) is logical.

The suspense! I have to know if automatically imaging from a share was added back as a feature yet. I miss that one a LOT.

Any update on this feature? It has been over a year and the Win 11 profile copier is not showing in the latest Image Assist.

Any update on the profile copier working in Win 11?
