When Microsoft released the newest version of their operating system last month, the biggest concern among people relying on their product is the fact that the release was accompanied with requirements for hardware that is quite demanding. This move has relegated many devices to the list of those that are not supported. Further clarification by the company stated that the system can be installed manually, but that the company will not provide security and software updates for those devices.
Key Takeaways:
- After some backlash, Microsoft stated they will be giving unsupported machines will get updates.
- While this patch will give them updates, it’s not sure if future patches will offer the same.
- If there is a massive breach or exploit, you will get updates on unsupported machines.
“It’s no secret that there are strict hardware requirements to upgrade to Windows 11, but back in August, Microsoft confirmed users could manually install it on unsupported machines. The only problem, though, is that those devices would not get software or security updates.”
