Microsoft released Windows 11 a few weeks ago, and the news triggered an unexpected criticism. It turns out that not all machines are capable of running Windows 11. Microsoft has specified specific hardware requirements for Windows 11 installation. They also drew criticism for creating a programme that can only evaluate whether or not your PC is compactable.
Many people were worried whether Windows would make their current computer obsolete; fortunately, we have already addressed that issue in this article.
While the operating system isn’t scheduled to be released until October of this year, Microsoft has already published a long list of criteria that any system must fulfil in order to upgrade to Windows 11.
We’ve also published an article on how to install Windows 11 Insider Preview, as well as their hardware requirements, in an earlier post. Now, the company has revealed more information about its future Windows 11 operating system, including how the upgrade will be delivered to consumers.
Hardware requirements for Windows 11 cannot be bypassed.
Microsoft’s Aria Carley confirmed during a recent Ask Microsoft Anything session that if a device isn’t compatible with Windows 11, or if it doesn’t satisfy the company’s long list of requirements, it won’t be pushing there updates.
“We know it sucks that some aren’t going to be eligible for Windows 11,” Microsoft’s Aria Carley said. “But the great thing to remember is the reason we’re doing that is to keep to devices more productive, have a better experience, and better security than ever before so they can stay protected in this new workforce.”
“What we’ve actually done is bring some of that enforcement in box so rather than you having to even think about it, your device can be targeted with Windows 11, and it will actually be able to determine by itself before ever being offered and wasting that download” whether the update is applicable, Carley said.
Cheating is not really an option.
Modifying group policy, according the Microsoft executive, will not allow users to bypass any of the listed requirements. “We’re still going to block you from upgrading your device to an unsupported state since we really want to make sure that your devices stay supported and secure,” Carley confirmed.
She also said that whether users are using third-party analytics tools or the ones that will be provided by the company, they will explain why a particular device didn’t get Windows 11.
As far as Microsoft is concerned, the underlying theme is that, Microsoft wants to ensure that all eligible users have complete security coverage, and if that means refusing certain customers because they are not qualified, so be it. The goal of the policy is to protect the Windows 11 community as a whole.
It’s always feasible that advanced users may figure out a method to get around Windows 11’s hardware requirements. However, you should avoid looking for Windows 11 downloads that advertise to operate on any device on the internet. Hackers are already using malware disguised as a Windows 11 installation to attack Windows users.
