    Windows 11 will warn user when installed on incompatible machine

    Windows 11 will warn user when installed on incompatible machine

    Windows 11 can be installed on PCs that do not meet the minimum operating system requirements, although Microsoft does not recommend doing so. With that in mind, the Windows developer has implemented new steps in the preview version of Windows 11, where there is an additional warning against installing on incompatible machines.

    While Microsoft has previously warned Windows users that installing Windows 11 can cause possible "damage" when doing so on PCs that don't officially support the operating system, its new OS can be installed if one really wants to. The Windows developer says that important updates may not arrive for these computers that are officially incompatible with Windows 11.



    The Windows Latest website said that the popular leaker (person who makes information available before official announcements) Albacore posted on Twitter about the new warning that is being tested for Windows 11. As you can see in the image below, the settings window shows that requirements for Windows 11 are not met and there is a link for the user to learn more about why.

    Microsoft seems to be closing the gaps again for installing Windows 11

    With the addition of the new warning for non-Windows 11-compatible PCs, it seems that Microsoft is returning to thinking about closing the loopholes for installing its new operating system (OS) on officially incompatible machines. It is believed that if the company takes more measures similar to this one, to prevent the installation of the OS, in the future there will be PCs that will be completely prevented from running Windows 11.
