Windows 11 22H2, is the first major operating system update, and recently released for those on the Release Preview Channel. Although the update has already reached the RTM stage, we know that it will not be released for unsupported hardware, as Microsoft continues to promote its processors and TPM 2.0.
In a rather unexpected move, Microsoft started offering Windows 11 22H2 on unsupported hardware, giving many a signal that it was willing to remove the hardware requirements.
In a statement, however, Microsoft said it had mistakenly released the latest operating system to devices that did not meet the requirements.
Although the update appears to have been pulled, it is still showing up for those with unsuitable hardware and there are many who can download it. If you see this particular update (Windows 11 22H2) and know that the device is not eligible, better avoid it for now, according to Microsoft.
Microsoft claims that installing Windows 11 22H2 will simply not work on unsupported hardware unless you modify the registry settings. Of course, you can download the update and install it, but the update will not work on your device, as confirmed by Jen Gentleman of the Windows Insider program.
“We are investigating an issue for Insiders where the banner to install Windows 11, version 22H2 is showing up on computers that are not eligible and we are working to fix it. Installation will lead to errors".
Many users report the same, and there are others who have been able to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware without any problems.
As we mentioned above, Microsoft has already taken steps to prevent this particular update from appearing on devices that don't meet the requirements. If you see her on your computer better ignore her notification companys.
