![]() But I could see even those places telling power users that they will need to do a manual upgrade or hire them once a year to do it. They are throwing just enough barriers to make selling Windows 11 to install on any PC not work but not so many that a tech-savvy user, like us, can't install it anyway and even remove the annoying nag notice that is there just to panic end users that some shady PC shop might install Windows 11 on. It will not install automatically but the same process used to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware will allow you to manually do the upgrade. What they do block is the yearly feature update. They claim they will not support it but then allow all the security patches to be installed and seem to otherwise support it. (TPMs for BitLocker and Windows Hello support, 8th gen or better doesn't have the Spectre or Meltdown vulnerabilities.) But they with a wink and nod allow it anyway. ![]() There are legitimate security concerns about both. They publish the workarounds you can do to skip certain hardware requirements like a TPM chip or 8th Gen or better CPUs. They could like Apple flat prohibit Windows 11 from installing on outdated hardware. M$ is straddling both sides of the fence here. Click to expand.At this point not really.
