It is a good thing Rob and Beth have David Snell, otherwise they would be lost in the tech world and not understand any of the latest developments. This is a big one as most offices and homes have a Microsoft computer running on Windows 10. Well…Microsoft is ramping up efforts for you to upgrade that Windows 10… to Windows 11. ACT Smart I.T.’s David talks all about it in his latest blog which you can find the full version by clicking here:
In an update to a Windows 11 support document, Microsoft warns that a watermark will be added to the desktop on any PC that’s been upgraded to Windows 11 without meeting the minimum requirements. Further, a notification may pop up in the Settings app to indicate that the computer doesn’t meet the necessary requirements.
Microsoft is also cautioning people that any unsupported PC running Windows 11 might not receive updates, while any damages may not be covered by the warranty.
Here’s the strong-arm language that could appear on any upgraded PCs that don’t qualify for Windows 11:
This PC doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements for running Windows 11 – these requirements help ensure a more reliable and higher quality experience. Installing Windows 11 on this PC is not recommended and may result in compatibility issues. If you proceed with installing Windows 11, your PC will no longer be supported and won’t be entitled to receive updates. Damages to your PC due to lack of compatibility aren’t covered under the manufacturer warranty. By selecting Accept, you are acknowledging that you read and understand this statement.
What does this mean for people who are in this dilemma? A lot of offices will probably be affected by this, so David discusses what we should do. Listen and find out!
