#microsoft has quietly removed its #official registry workaround that allowed unsupported #pcs to upgrade to Windows 11 by bypassing #cpu and #tpm checks. Originally provided in 2021 due to widespread #criticism of strict #hardware requirements, the workaround was recently deleted from Microsoft's support article following the release of Windows 11 24H2. The company now officially recommends purchasing a new #pc for Windows 11, aligning with partners like #dell and #amd. With Windows 10's #end of support approaching, Microsoft's stance on hardware deprecation is expected to have significant implications for users with older systems. https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-quietly-removes-official-windows-11-cputpm-bypass-for-unsupported-pcs/#google_vignette
