Microsoft has added a disclaimer to its page regarding the use of Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, warning users that installing the OS on non-compliant devices may result in compatibility issues and void their support and warranty. The updated message states that if a PC’s system requirements are not met, it will display a watermark warning users about potential problems.
The company is encouraging users to upgrade or purchase new PCs to run Windows 11, especially as its end-of-life date for Windows 10 draws near in October 2025. However, some users have continued to use the OS on older devices, which may lead to issues with performance and reliability.
Microsoft’s move aims to educate users about the potential risks of using Windows 11 on incompatible hardware, while also pushing them to upgrade or replace their PCs.
