Microsoft further simplifies the transition to Windows 11

We recently reported that Windows 11 is losing popularity. According to statistics from StatCounter, the new operating system is currently used by 34.1 percent of users worldwide (-0.84%). In practice, this means that the number of users has decreased significantly, due to the increased popularity of Windows 10, which is currently used by 62.73 percent of users worldwide (+0.9%).

Microsoft, of course, wants to reduce this percentage and "migrate" as many users as possible to Windows 11. The company will actually try to achieve this by abandoning major feature upgrades for Windows 10. The Windows 10 22H2 update was the last major update to this operating system. It has been available to users since November 18th last year. Microsoft is of course encouraging users to switch to the much more modern Windows 11 24H2.

Recently, Microsoft has made it even easier to upgrade to Windows 11. The user interface for updating has become more user-friendly, and the entire process is even simpler. In addition, Microsoft has removed hardware requirements for installing the new operating system, including the requirement for hardware compatibility with the TPM 2.0 security platform. The latter was the biggest obstacle to installing Windows 11.

Although Microsoft now officially allows a simplified installation of the Windows 11 operating system on incompatible computers, it still does not recommend installing it. Using the Windows 11 operating system on an incompatible computer can cause a lot of problems for the user. In addition, users will no longer receive updates and will not be eligible for support. Therefore, if you decide to install Windows 11 on an unsupported computer, you will have to assume all the risks and inconveniences that such an installation brings.
