If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. You probably should not be upset by Microsoft teasing you with the operating system your computer cannot install officially.ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. Fortunately, installing Windows 11 on an unsupported PC is easy, and you have plenty of options, such as Rufus.
The limitations are still there, so those with computers that do not meet Microsoft's demands must opt for other methods to get Windows 11. Unlike a similar situation from June 2022, agreeing to download and install Windows 11 this time results in the process failing due to unsupported hardware. It is even funnier that rejecting the offer got us to another screen, where Microsoft tried its luck once again by claiming it recommends Windows 11 for our unsupported virtual machine with 2GB of RAM and no TPM. Moreover, after applying the latest cumulative updates, we were greeted with that full-screen upgrade prompt with the two "yes" buttons. Despite that, the Settings app said the machine could download Windows 11 version 22H2.
The confusing prompts were spotted by PhantomOfEarth, and we could reproduce them on our virtual machines with specs way below the required: 2GB of RAM, two CPU cores, 60GB of storage, and no TPM.
