Windows 10: Why/how did Microsoft lower the hardware requirements to upgrade to windows 11 - intiially...

Not sure what to say. Have been able to upgrade to windows 11 for about 2 years, never did so, because when windows 11 was released it told me my computer did not meet the minimum requirements for the new OS. Not sure why i've been able to do this now after windows was very adamant they would not lower the hardware requirements. Don't want to install an OS my hardware can't properly run.AMD Ryzen 27001070 TI SCasus b450f32gb ramWindows 10

upgrade to windows 11 from windows 10

Welcome to Ten Forums sddfds Windows 11 has not been released to the public yet. The only Windows 11 currently available is on the Insider Dev and Beta channels. Whether or not you can upgrade your tablet from 10 to 11 very much depends on the specs of the tablet. Microsoft have increased the minimum required specification for Windows 11. In particular Windows 11 requires a minimum of 4GB RAM, an a UEFI bios with Secure Boot enabled and TPM 2.0 security. In addition, a supported processor is required, for Intel that means an 8th gen or newer CPU (with similar requirements for AMD processors). The full list of requirements are here... https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/w...1-requirements ...and the lists of supported processors here: https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-h...r-requirements Windows 11 setup or upgrade will check that the system meets the minimum requirements and will not install on a machine that is below spec. When 11 is released, Windows Update will not offer 11 as an optional update to machines that are below the minimum requirements. Without knowing what tablet you have it's not possible to say if it can be upgraded. But as tablets tend to be at the lower end of the market the chances are that it cannot get the upgrade to Windows 11 when it is released. For machines that cannot run Windows 11 Microsoft has said that Windows 10 will continue to be supported until 2025.
