Why users still couldn't care less about Windows 11

zerbey

I don't mind Windows 11, and I do use it, but the artificial hardware requirements are just that. I've ran it on multiple systems that don't meet the minimum requirements with zero issues, but for non technical users the process of installing (and upgrading later) on such systems is intimidating, even if it's not particularly difficult. Microsoft should just allow the OS to run on the same hardware Windows 10 does, or at least replace the error with a warning so end users can make their own decisions. Then, perhaps they will see consumers upgrading.

Windows 11 market share falls despite Microsoft ad blitz

Well, if Microsoft would stop being so whiny about people upgrading on supposedly "unsupported" hardware they would see more users adopting. There's no reason they can't support things below 8th generation Intel, I've done the registry hacks and installed it on multiple systems with zero issues, they just don't want to.
