Update (02/25/2023) – by LR
Some Windows 10 users were surprised last Friday (24) with an update notification for Windows 11 even on incompatible PCs with the system. This news caused a huge uproar in the community that believed it was changes in the software requirements, but everything is just a misunderstanding.
In a statement released this Saturday (25), Microsoft claims that the update banner is a bug fixed this week, but with a solution that may take up to 2 days to arrive on the computer. “Some non-hardware-eligible Windows 10 and Windows 11, version 21H2 devices received an inaccurate upgrade to Windows 11.”
According to the developer, the fix was made available even without any new packages on Windows Update, so users do not need to perform any intervention for the failure to be resolved. Data from a survey reveals that 42% of machines are not compatible with Windows 11.
Windows 11 requirements:
- 1 GHz dual-core 64-bit processor
- 4 GB of RAM memory
- 64 GB storage
- 9 inch screen with 1366 x 768 resolution
- Support for UEFI, Secure Boot and TPM 2.0
- Compatibility with DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.x

Microsoft is dogged to get Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11. After releasing a new screen following updates, the Redmond company is now offering the update even for PCs that do not meet the requirements it has imposed.
The new screen that offers the update to Windows 11 says that the system is “now compatible” and even says that the update will be downloaded on your machine, but unfortunately an error is shown at the end of the process, indicating that it is still not possible to install the system.
However, one point bothered users, as the update screen requires a few seconds of attention from the user if he does not want to install Windows 11. The button to stay in Windows 10 is highlighted, but in the small letters of a lower bar, which can confuse users, making some of them feel like they have no choice.
Anyway, these warning screens are annoying most of the time as they aim to promote Windows 11 and Office 365 and pop up unexpectedly. What’s worse is that this time even those who want to install the update will be disappointed by the error at the end of the process.
Unfortunately it seems that Microsoft is committed to maintaining this strategy, as it would be more interesting if these warnings only appeared as reduced notifications instead of occupying the entire screen.
