With Windows 10 seeing its final days in October next year, Microsoft is really recommending users upgrade to Windows 11 — unless their PC doesn't have a TPM 2.0 chip. However, you can still run the latest version of Windows on unsupported PCs.

Microsoft updated its support page to warn users not to run Windows 11 on an unsupported PC, but the company also has official instructions on installing the operating system on devices that don't meet minimum requirements. Generally, that means PCs with a TPM 2.0 chip — a security chip required for Windows 11.

Microsoft has had a change of heart on offering Windows 11 to older and incompatible PC owners, but it comes with a warning. The post How to Get Windows 11 on Your PC Even If It’s Incompatible appeared first on Tech.

Microsoft doubled down on its policy that requires PCs to have TPM 2.0-compatible hardware in order to install Windows 11. But now, in an unexpected and puzzling move, the company is issuing instructions for installing Windows 11 on incompatible PCs.

Microsoft now lets you install Windows 11 on unsupported devices, despite its previous insistence on the TPM 2.0 requirement.
