You know that Windows 11 has very strict hardware requirements, but also some of them can be bypassed. So many are those (the daring ones) who installed the “stable” version of Windows 11 on Appliances which are not officially supported.
But the upcoming Windows 11 22H2 looks set to change the game.
Windows 11 running on an unsupported computer will not be able to upgrade to the latest Beta.
The Beta channel has just got its first version 22H2, (build 22581), which is also available on the Dev channel.
This allows Insiders to quickly switch between the two channels. In the change log, the company from Redmond mentions the availability of an updated taskbar, minor cosmetic changes and several general improvements.
However, the change log she reports nothing about changes in her behavior upgradeof the updated operating system. As of this release if your device doesn't have TPM or doesn't meet other hardware requirements, you won't be able to install the latest version even from the Beta channel.
According with the source, the affected device could be updated without any problem before the latest release of Windows 11. So if you're running Windows 11 on an unsupported PC, be ready for a "door" with the 22H2 update.
At least until the next hack is found.
