Driver Bundle
We are releasing two driver bundles this time. One with all the latest drivers primarily designed for Windows 11. We are also continuing to release the existing driver bundle that uses the drivers that have been extensivly validated with our hardware testing lab.
Alpha driver bundle for Windows 11
Note that this driver bundle is the most up to date, but has not undergone the same level of validation as our windows 10 drivers.

How you can help
Before we make any new Framework builds publicly available one of the most important aspects is to give our community a chance to evaluate the Framework BIOS and driver builds to provide feedback before we roll them out to all Framework users.
This is a really important step where we want to hear the community’s bug reports, suggestions or general feedback on the latest beta releases for Framework’s BIOS/driver bundles.
We have already been testing these releases internally over here at Framework as thoroughly as possible , but since this is a public beta test there is always a chance you could encounter an unforeseen issue we haven’t caught yet; so please consider updating to these versions only if you are OK with that (and ensuring you have backed up anything essential first).
If you do notice any issues or have feedback please comment in this thread and the Framework team will be reviewing everything here and following up as fast as we can.
Thank you all for working together and helping us improve our releases!
