Microsoft Windows 11 can now be installed on incompatible PCs, but there’s a catch

With Windows 10 almost at the end of its lifecycle, Microsoft has been aggressively pushing users to upgrade their machines to Windows 11. However, a report last year hinted that Microsoft ending Windows 10 support could send somewhere around 240 million PCs to landfills.

This may be attributed to Microsoft’s stringent requirements for PCs to have TPM 2.0 compatible hardware, which the company doubled down on just a week ago. But in an unexpected move, the tech giant recently issued instructions for installing Windows 11 on older PCs that do not meet its hardware requirements.
