Consumers will still need to go to the effort of downloading an ISO file and manually installing Windows 11, which the vast majority probably won’t do. Overall, it’s a big change that means millions of PCs may not be left behind, technically. Microsoft confirmed this during an October 2021 briefing. In fact, after we published this post, Microsoft reached out to tell us about one potentially gigantic catch it didn’t mention during our briefing: systems that are upgraded this way may not be entitled to get Windows Updates, even security ones. Microsoft won’t be recommending or advertising this method of installing Windows 11 to consumers. Microsoft now tells us that this install workaround is designed primarily for businesses to evaluate Windows 11, and that people can upgrade at their own risk as the company can’t guarantee driver compatibility and overall system reliability. Microsoft announced its Windows 11 minimum hardware requirements in June, and made it clear that only Intel 8th Gen and beyond CPUs were officially supported.
Tl:dr No reason for W10 users, update please if you're on an earlier version of Windows, no reason to avoid W11 either.The easy way to install Windows 11 on unsupported CPUs
Still, once you fire up Chrome/Firefox/Office/Blender/any game/any program, you're probably gonna have the exact same experience whether on W10 or W11. Yes, it's definitely some once-off work if you like your right-click context menus back (and I do), and all the telemetry & hodge-podge menu design is still there. You definitely should get the latest version of OS for a new machine anyway, but most people thinking of upgrading probably aren't getting a new machine.Īnd if W10 works fine for you, there's honestly no real reason to update. If you're getting new hardware, there's some advantages to running W11 with certain current-gen Intel CPUs, but it's not on the level of say, upgrading from an HDD to SSD for example. Aesthetics are slightly refreshed, some minor under-the-hood tweaks etc. If you actually are on an earlier version of windows, unless there's some reason, like say, a grandmother who'll throw a positively ballistic fit if you take away her XP, then you should upgrade solely for the updates alone.įor the majority of people on W10, there's not really any major reason to update. I'm gonna assume you're on W10, and not something earlier like 7/Vista/XP/ME. That's.nice, but could be more constructive. The top comment is just saying how nice and bug-free W11 is for their past few days of usage.
