Microsoft is Windows 11 21H2 Release Post“There was an error that incorrectly deployed Windows 11 upgrades to Windows 10, Windows 11 version 21H2 devices with incompatible hardware,” it said. The affected device was unable to complete the upgrade installation process and was detected on February 23 and was resolved the same day, it said.
The devices that showed this error were some versions of Windows 10 22H2, 21H2, and 20H2, but the problem is that many of them were hardware sold that might be upgraded to Windows 11 a few years ago.
Microsoft posted the information in its support changelog, but not in a press release or official announcement. That means someone who fails to upgrade from the Windows Update app is unlikely to know what’s going on. Anyone planning to use Windows 11 should either upgrade their hardware or monitor the situation for a while.
It is true that minor accidents are happening around the recent Windows 11 update or upgrade. Last week, a watermark message appeared on Windows 11 running on hardware that didn’t support the latest version. While Windows 11 has proven to run on much lighter specs contrary to initial expectations, Microsoft’s official stance is otherwise.
It’s been almost a year and a half since Windows 11 was officially released to the general public, but the upgrade process to Windows 11 and the eligibility of hardware that can be upgraded have been controversial for some time.
