Will my existing Boot Camp still function if I upgrade to Big Sur?

Currently on Catalina with Windows 10 Boot Camp and I don’t want to break it.

Updating macOS is fairly unlikely to break an existing boot camp as it's not an OS level feature except for installation. though I guess the boot Ron updates that now come with every update for t2 machines at least could conceivable remove support.

There are no differences booting BootCamp on an Intel Mac Based on the beta.
On ARM look forward to improved virtualization with Microsoft leveraging Apple to get their new platform out. ARM Windows does a Rosetta like job on win32 apps.

After installing Windows 10 via boot camp on macOS 11, I can confirm that boot camp is 100% functional.

MacBook Pro 15 inch 2018
macOS 11 Developer Beta 1
Lasted current version of Windows 10
Can you please tell me what's the bootcamp version? and does it come with new wifi drivers? My wifi on current bootcamp is pathetic, so just want to know if they have upgraded bootcamp with new version number and new drivers?

Guys, should I just keep Windows installed while installing the public beta or delete it and then install it again when I install the Big Sur public beta? Please respond as fast as possible.

It seems to me that there's no longer an option to install Boot Camp drivers onto a flash drive through Boot Camp Assistant (the only option available is to install/remove a Windows partition). Anyone know a workaround? I wanted to reinstall some drivers before trying to install a custom trackpad driver.

Side note: Anyone know how to get Trackpad++ working? I've tried installing it a few times and it always makes my mouse non-functional in Boot Camp.

Hey guys, I'm trying to install Windows under Big Sur but I'm getting "The Windows 10 ISO is not recognized." error.

I downloaded the ISO from the Microsoft Website several times and I get always the same error. If anyone has a tip I will appreciate it!

I'm experiencing the same issue. I installed Windows 10 through Bootcamp a couple of days ago and didn't have enough room for MS Flight Sim 2020 so I restored to Big Sur. Today when I try to partition with Bootcamp I get the same error.I downloaded the Windows ISO again and again and keep getting the "Windows 10 ISO is not recognized".
