    In addition to my reply, Microsoft has to reconsider the CPU requirements as their statement on this was more about security

    issues and if you can meet the security requirements such as the TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot portion then CPU should be a non issue.

    Just my opinion . . .

    My system displays a message saying my PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11, which doesn't make sense since I have an RTX 3060 and the latest 10th generation Intel.

    here is the list

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors

    Thanks, for some reason I misunderstood the requirements description on the page.

    Well that is disappointing to say the least after setting up secure boot and resolving the issues with booting into Windows after

    enabling PTT (TPM 2.0)

    Cheers - JM

    I'm in the insider preview dev channel, but my system is definitely not compatable with the new Windows 11 (I only have an Intel core i7-4690 3.6Ghz.) which is a 4th gen.

    My question is, will updates automatically check the system can run Windows 11, and if it can't, will it still try to install it, or will I be safe, and just get the normal Windows 10 updates. I don't fancy having it install Windows 11, and then have to be fully reset back to Windows 10 because my system is incomparable.
