previouslyMicrosoft said that hardware that does not meet Microsoft’s minimum standards, although the method of modifying the registration code can be used to install the Windows 11 system and upgrade it. but,After the official release of Windows 11 on October 5, regular updates of the system will not be available.
However, according to a report by foreign media htnovo, it seems that this may not be the case.
htnovo uses the Windows Insider approach. They install the Windows 11 Preview version on computers that do not meet the hardware requirements and do not have a TPM module, and they conduct regular tests. According to the official version of Windows,
“Once Windows 11 is officially launched, these computers (that do not meet the hardware requirements) will be opted out of the version channel and will not be able to receive future versions of Windows 11 Insider Preview. These computers must use the media (ISO) provided by us to clean install and return to Windows 10. Then you can join the release preview channel to receive the preview update of Windows 10.”
However, a few days ago, Microsoft released the first “Tuesday Update” since the official version of Windows 11 was launched. According to HTNovo, the situation does not seem to be as restrictive as Microsoft previously said. PCs that do not meet the hardware requirements have received complete security updates and .NET Framework 3.5/4.8 program updates. There is no problem with the upgrade.
Therefore, they speculate that Microsoft may mean that it “cannot guarantee to provide updates for unsupported Windows 11 PC hardware” users, rather than deliberately “cut off” all users who do not meet the hardware specifications to upgrade.
The same situation, so it can be analogized if you use the “smuggling” method provided by Microsoft to upgrade, you may still receive regular updates.
But after all, this is only the first update since Microsoft launched Windows 11. It may also be that they deliberately released water. Maybe wait until the next update to observe.
