This Microsoft website lists the requirements for installing Windows 11, which prevents many older computers from performing a full installation. First, Microsoft has adjusted the language regarding the need for users to agree to a waiver when installing Windows 11 on incompatible hardware. Second, a direct link to the Windows Recovery menu has been added, making it easier for users to roll back to Windows 10 if they encounter problems.
Microsoft had previously recommended that users upgrade to Windows 11 using a new PC, suggesting that the company understood that not everyone would be able to make the upgrade. After reports of the company downgrading the requirement, Microsoft was forced to update the text to avoid confusion from consumers.
Update requirements with Windows 11 to avoid misunderstandings
Accordingly, in the latest update, Microsoft changed the title of the article from " Install Windows 11 on devices that do not meet the minimum system requirements" to " Windows 11 on devices that do not meet the minimum system requirements". Microsoft also emphasized that they do not officially allow the use of unsupported hardware to run Windows 11 and recommended that users should return to Windows 10 immediately.
This support article was originally published on October 4, 2021, when Windows 11 first launched. Its purpose is to help customers understand the implications of installing Windows 11 on devices that do not meet the system requirements. Microsoft confirms that the minimum system requirements for Windows 11 remain unchanged.
So, for those who are using Windows 10 on devices that don't meet Windows 11 requirements, it looks like Microsoft is encouraging upgrading to a new PC after Windows 10 ends support.
