Microsoft mistakenly offered Windows 11 updates to unsupported PCs again. Sadly, this occurred twice in one year. The mistake revived the minimal system requirements debate, even though impacted PCs could not upgrade.
In a supporting memo, Microsoft admitted that some hardware-ineligible devices were given an incorrect Windows 11 upgrade. These devices couldn’t update to Windows 11 because they didn’t meet the criteria.
Microsoft has given Windows 11 upgrades to unsupported systems before. Unsupported CPUs can run the new OS, and Microsoft is trying a new PC watermark to detect unsupported hardware.
The company’s marking purpose needs to be clarified. Happy hardware users believe they have the right to try new software. However, Microsoft has a similar stance on pirated Windows. User methods vary, and users will likely solve this one too.
