Microsoft previously confirmed that it would allow the new Windows 11 operating system to be installed on older and officially unsupported devices. She indicated that in this case the systems would be used in an “unsupported state”, but did not elaborate on what exactly that meant. Portal PCWorld managed to get a comment from Microsoft, to clarify this issue.
The company has confirmed the previously announced statements. Windows 10 PC owners will be able to install Windows 11 using the dedicated Windows Media Creation Tool application or through the operating system ISO file. The software giant also clarified what hardware will be needed to install Windows 11. The new OS will require a 64-bit processor, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of permanent memory, a motherboard with support for BIOS UEFI Secure Boot and TPM 2.0. If the user's PC does not support the TPM version 2.0 cryptographic protection protocol and works with an older version, for example, 1.2, then it will officially be considered "unsupported".
In this case, the installation of Windows 11 will be possible, but the operating system will not receive new updates through Windows Update. In other words, these PCs will not receive the latest Windows security updates and new drivers.
The company added that unsupported PCs running Windows 11 and not receiving updates may experience compatibility issues and even be unusable. In addition, such systems may have problems with warranty service.
