Microsoft's Windows Update Dilemma: What Users Need to Know
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Forbes
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.
