Here's what Microsoft wants you do if you install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware

Microsoft has published a support article detailing considerations for customers to understand the implications of installing Windows 11 against Microsoft’s recommendation on devices that don’t meet system requirements for the OS.

If you installed Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, Microsoft recommends you immediately roll back to Windows 10. Windows 11 minimum system requirements remain unchanged.

Devices that don’t meet these system requirements might malfunction due to compatibility or other issues. Additionally, unsupported hardware isn’t guaranteed to receive Windows 11 updates, including but not limited to security updates.

The disclaimer that appears when trying to install Windows 11 on unsupported devices reads as follows:

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.

If a device that doesn’t meet the requirements experiences issues after upgrading to Windows 11, Microsoft recommends returning to Windows 10.
