Who said Windows 11 has minimal requirements to work? Microsoft? Funny. Windows 11 plays everywhere.
It started with one computer 10 years old, miles away from Microsoft's minimum specifications. We took to iguru a 10-year-old computer, 64-bit architecture, with an Intel Core 2 Quard processor, 8 GB of Ram, with BIOS (for UEFI, not even for a joke), we had no TPM in mind, and with Windows 10, the latest version.
Of course we do not discuss what PC Health Check showed us. You mean he mentioned that the computer does not qualify for Windows 11. And WhyNotWin11 we would say it was more red than green.
So on it we set up a VirtualBox, and installed a Windows 10 64-bit Pro, without activating it. We connected with an email with Microsoft and enrollmentwe did on the Insders DEV channel. If our computer is "crappy", imagine what the virtual machine we created is. We gave it only 2 GB of RAM memory, a single processor and 128MB of graphics memory.
And we waited playing with Windows Update !!. Of course he told us that he did not meet the specifications for Windows 11 but… miraculously started downloading them.
And after downloading Windows 11, already installed them. It seems to be the oldest computer in the world currently running Windows 11.
So on a functional level, Windows 11 plays fine in machineat the moment Windows 10, 8, 7 and XP are also running (after all, our computer started with Windows XP). Is not theme CPU, no TPM, no nothing. It's up to Microsoft to release the install feature.
But if things remain as they are so far, in the first fixed Windows 11 that will be released we will all find ourselves playing with the registry to install them.
First is not the retail version and second is VM; Seriously? Why not on a normal PC?
