My laptop also do not meet the minimum hardware requirements and hence can’t be updated to Windows 11. They want us all to buy new hardware and boost the economy🤓

I received a recent automatic OS update for Windows 10 which included a Windows 11 prerequisite check.

After navigating start -> Settings -> Update & Security saw this message:

 This PC doesn't meet all the system requirements for Windows 11.

All my PCs - including a fairly recent Microsoft Surface - showed this message.

In general, I don't bother to do major upgrades unless there is a compelling reason. If I want Windows 11, I'll probably buy a new PC with Windows 11 pre-installed. Hardware is cheap.

Microsoft has recently published an end date of support for Windows 10 as October 14, 2025, so we should be good for at least 4 more years at this point.
