In recent days, her decision has taken on great proportions Microsoft to block old processors from upgrading to Windows 11. It all started with publications that reported that the company will make Windows 11 available to everyone who cares to see it.
(Φυσικά όλο αυτό έχει ωφελήσει την Microsoft, αφού οι τίτλοι των τελευταίων δημοσιεύσεων σε όλο το Internet περιέχουν το "Windows 11". Και όλο αυτό πριν κυκλοφορήσει..)
Αργότερα και ενώ οι φίλοι της Microsoft έπλεαν σε πελάγη ευτυχίας, άρχισαν να σκάνε δημοσιεύσεις που περιόριζαν το "όλοι". Η αρχή έγινε όταν η γνωστή ιστοσελίδα The Verge, δημοσίευσε ότι η Microsoft θα επέτρεπε τις αναβαθμίσεις μέσω ISO.
Microsoft read the post and contacted author Tom Warren to let him know that these Windows 11 systems may do not receive security updates or driver updates.
So Warren says it is unclear whether Microsoft is trying to protect itself legally or whether it really wants to prevent the upgrade. for other reasons.
Let us mention the example of Clover Trail, then with Windows 10. Systems with Clover Tail processors were released with Windows 8.x and could be updated to Windows 10 RTM.
But then it turned out that the installation of Windows 10 Creators Update (version 1607) was not working. The reason was because Intel no longer provided drivers in Windows 10 for the GPU that was built into the chipset.
As a result, Microsoft has announced that it will have updates for Windows 10 systems running Intel Clover Trail processors by 2023. It is possible that the company does not want to make the same mistake again.
When will Windows 11 be released?
Microsoft has not yet given a release date for Windows 11, but is talking about the end of 2021. Intel has revealed on its blog the release date (October 2021). However, the release date probably won't concern too many anymore, after Microsoft's red card. The hardware requirements for Windows 11 to see a new GUI do not justify buying a new one computer.
