Has Windows 11 been installed on incompatible PCs? Microsoft recognizes the problem

A few days ago, Microsoft invited many users to install Windows 11 on their computers.

The problem is that not all terminals were able to run the latest OS from the American firm.

Windows 11 on incompatible systems, an error from Microsoft

Microsoft has been trying to impose Windows 11 on as many people as possible for a few long months now. Regularly, Windows users with a PC compatible with the new Microsoft OS are invited to migrate to the new operating system of the American giant. However, a recent bug also accidentally offered the OS to users whose hardware actually turns out to be incompatible with Windows 11.

Indeed, like any other software, the new version of Windows has some requirements to function optimally, and all computers running Windows 10 (and lower) are not automatically eligible to migrate to the version. superior. The new OS notably requires a minimum of 4 GB of RAM, not to mention a TPM 2.0 chip for security.

Immediately spotted, immediately repaired

Thus, in an official note, Microsoft indicates: Some hardware ineligible for Windows 10 and Windows 11, version 21H2 was offered an inaccurate upgrade to Windows 11. For the record, this is not the first time that Microsoft has offered to install Windows 11 on unsuitable systems.

Microsoft says that the various devices that experienced this issue were unable to complete the upgrade installation process. The problem was detected on February 23, 2023 before being resolved the same day, and therefore it should not affect a wide range of users.

With regard to Windows 11, remember that after a first Moment 1 update last October, the Redmond company will very soon deploy a second update, placed in particular under the sign of accessibility.
