Microsoft's Windows Update Dilemma: What Users Need to Know

Microsoft has clarified that it has not changed the system requirements for Windows 11, despite confusion from recent headlines suggesting otherwise. The company maintains that PCs must have TPM 2.0 to upgrade to Windows 11, and those that don't meet this requirement will not receive updates, including security patches. This has led to widespread user confusion, as many believed they could upgrade older PCs without losing support. Microsoft advises users with incompatible hardware to remain on Windows 10 to ensure continued security updates.

Microsoft Permits Windows 11 on Older PCs Amid Update Warnings

Microsoft has reversed its stance on Windows 11 installation, allowing it on unsupported hardware despite previously insisting on TPM 2.0 as a non-negotiable requirement. The company has issued guidelines for such installations but warns of potential compatibility issues, lack of updates, and voided warranties. Users will see a desktop watermark and may receive notifications about unmet requirements. This change may be influenced by Windows 10's rising market share and the approaching end of its support in 2025.
