Windows 11 is the first upgrade for the popular operating system Windows 10 after six years.
Microsoft he had once mentioned that the latest version of Windows was Windows 10, so the new release was a welcome surprise for the company's friends.

Windows 11 Create ISO from Microsoft servers
This particular file is called 86307_windows 11 build 21996.1 x64 + activator.exe.
The name suggests that it contains Windows 11 in build 21996.1, along with a program installer that will automatically activate Windows for you. But if you look above you'll at least see a red flag: This particular file is only 1,75 GB, while an actual Windows 11 ISO is about 4,87 GB.
The 1,75 GB file looks normal. But most of this space consists of a DLL file that contains a lot of junk information.
Kaspersky even reports that it also contains a malicious application called “Admin downloads for 86307_windows 11 build 21996.1 x64 + activator”. If you run the app and accept the pop-up box, it will start downloading and installing a bunch of malware on your computer.
