The new OS era of Windows is approaching next month. Models that can be upgraded for free as soon as possible have also been announced, and users who are getting excited at all may be happy. After all, this upgrade is a narrow gate like never before. Even if it is the Microsoft PC, Windows 11 can only be the latest Surface Pro and Surface Laptop, and even "Surface Studio 2" which should be high spec is not subject to upgrade. That's why.
However, loopholes are always there, avoiding upgrade announcements that would normally be distributed from a Windows 10 environment only if your machine meets the requirements of Windows 11, and Windows anyway. There seems to be a way to do a clean install of 11. It's a trick to install from an ISO file using a so-called media creation tool, which increases the chances of getting Windows 11 on your machine, even if it doesn't meet the stringent hardware requirements ...
In fact, The Verge pointed out that installing Windows 11 on a spec machine that is not officially supported in this way poses a surprising danger. You can use it for the time being, but Microsoft is considering a restriction that it will not distribute any security patches or driver updates to unsupported machines! Occasionally, only urgent security updates that cover serious vulnerabilities may be distributed exceptionally, but that is the same as older operating systems such as Windows XP, whose support was discontinued a long time ago. It will be treated, right?
Microsoft plans to re-release the PC Health Check Tool app, which is currently in beta on the Windows Insider Program, to check for legitimate upgrades to Windows 11 by next month's official release. However, there are many users in an environment where even if you check here, they will be played. After all, I understand that the aim is to announce a new model equipped with the new Windows 11 from the beginning, but I hope that it will not be just a situation where Windows 10 refugees will flood the world four years later.
