Before the official launch of Windows 11, Microsoft announced that the operating system can be installed on machines that do not have or do not have the correct TPM module, or that have an unsupported processor. However, the announcement was slightly overshadowed by the fact that, according to the announcement of the Redmond company, in the case of computers with unsupported hardware, it is not guaranteed that the updates will be able to be installed. No one knew exactly what this meant, because the company did not release any more precise information.
The first repair package has now arrived, and the picture is perhaps clearer: the first update package can be installed on any computer without any problems. And the thing is, Microsoft has no interest in changing this practice in the future. The company obviously wants as many people as possible to switch; in fact, the requirement related to the TPM chip and the processor is also completely incomprehensible, because as the attached figure shows, the system actually works well even if the conditions are not met. Except, of course, for those functions for which TPM is really necessary, such as BitLocker. It’s also quite clear that Microsoft doesn’t benefit from users buying a new machine – so pumping up demand for hardware can’t be a real goal either.
So our tip is that the updates will arrive nicely in the future, and Microsoft said in advance that the arrival of the updates is not guaranteed, because it is possible that a function will be added to the system later that requires the TPM chip , and which will therefore not be able to work on “incompatible” hardware.
