It is known that Microsoft, with its minimum requirements for installing Windows 11, has not been that popular lately.
Many users disagree with the company's decision, but despite the disagreements the security requirements of Windows 11 have been implemented. So at the moment there are "officially supported" and "unsupported systems".
Microsoft, however, has so far not ruled out unsupported installations, as it allows installations via ISO, and it appears it may continue to support these "incompatible" Windows 11 critical updates over its lifetime. operating system.
Of course, the company has made it clear that these alternative methods are accompanied by risks and there was a time when it is believed that it also used a tactic of terror to make those concerned stay away from them.
Although it was never officially confirmed, a Microsoft spokesperson stated that unsupported systems running Windows 11 will not receive updates.
However, that hasn't happened, as we reported yesterday , we were able to update an "incompatible" system with updates released by Microsoft. A test "incompatible" system we have with Windows 11 was able to receive the first set of "Patch Tuesday" updates. It even receives the daily updates from the Windows Security suite.
It is certainly reassuring to see that Microsoft will not abandon Windows 11 users who have arrived there using alternative and official methods.
It is not clear, however, whether this is Microsoft's official policy or whether it is just waiting for things to calm down.
But if he stops the updates, he could have legal problems, as he can be accused of forcing people to buy new computers just to stay safe with Windows 11.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
I personally estimate that Microsoft will back down on its insistence on the indisputably good security parameters it sets as, partly the lack of chips on the market, partly the lack of rare earths for the manufacture of peripheral systems and components of new computers, -in practice- it will not persist in the supply of new systems.
It is not likely that he will make an announcement at some point that will say, among other things: guys, we recommend that you have these and those subsystems, if you want to have (more) secure terminals.
And I'm talking about terminals as the 11 arias probably target businesses through the cloud and not individuals.
Of course a question remains. If it adheres to its standards, after 2025 what will happen to those who have 10 amps.
There the (probably) answer will be: we take out the 11 arias for the plebeians…
