Windows 11 is not compatible with many PCs due to minimum system requirements. In theory, you won’t be able to bypass the restrictions to install it on an incompatible PC. In any case, this is what Microsoft intends to do.
Following the announcement of Windows 11 which we had the opportunity to install and test, Microsoft disappointed many users. And for good reason, the next operating system will not be compatible with all PCs equipped with a correct configuration compared to current standards.
Microsoft has not lowered the minimum configuration, but this possibility is not yet completely ruled out. In the meantime, the Redmond firm warns that it will not allow any cheating for install Windows 11 on an incompatible machine. You can also check the compatibility of your PC with Windows 11 using a free tool, PC Health Check.
Microsoft implements a very strict policy for the installation of Windows 11
Microsoft gave more details about migration to Windows 11 during an AMA (ask-me-anything) session. Such a session takes the form of an interactive interview where Internet users ask questions live. Aria Carley who is program director at Microsoft explained that: we know it sucks that some are not eligible for Windows 11. But, the good thing to remember is that the reason we’re doing this is to keep devices more productive, to have a better experience and better security than never before so they can stay protected “.
Microsoft is therefore particularly strict with regard to Windows 11. The reason? He wants focus on computer security at all costs. Aria Carley has confirmed that you won’t be able to modify Group Policy (GPO) to circumvent restrictions. For your information, group policy is a configuration management technology integrated with Windows Server Active Directory. ” Group Policy will not allow you to bypass Windows 11 hardware requirement. We will still prevent you from upgrading your device to an unsupported state “, she added.
Of course, users will always find a way around Microsoft’s rules. Some will successfully install Windows 11 on an incompatible PC. However, beware of fake Windows 11 installer files. These have the sole purpose of installing malware and trojans on your PC. As a reminder, Windows 11 is already available in Insider Preview. Its official release is expected for this fallbut we do not have a more precise date.
