The specs for Windows 11 appear quite demanding.
The specs for Windows 11 appear quite demanding.
Microsoft informs me I can't use Windows 11 on my 10-year-old laptop while it's running Windows 11. It seems to be performing better than Windows 10, likely because the developer version lacks the extra features found in regular releases.
A recent tech article shared about 5 minutes ago highlighted that MS released a very strict hardware checklist. It mentioned that most older devices wouldn’t support Windows 11. While I understand the point, it feels like they’re making an exaggerated claim without solid technical justification.
I see that Microsoft might plan to use these technologies in some way... But it feels like they're saying the same thing to people with functional computers—your hardware is outdated. This is especially true in today's market where many still use older systems.
It seems like Apple often makes changes that affect older devices. My 2013 MacBook Pro won’t officially run Monterey anymore, but I think there’s a workaround using Windows 11. The community around macOS updates usually finds solutions, so I’m hopeful we’ll get around this.
I completely agree with you. The same applies here—4K PCs require an upgrade to work with Windows 11.
