For users who are receiving the following message in your Windows Insider Settings:

Your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. Your device may continue to receive Insider Preview builds until Windows 11 is generally available, at which time it is recommended to clean install to Windows 10.

We've made an update to Settings to resolve some issues. Please reboot your device to ensure you have the latest update.

    I've lost my post I put on here, won't anyone answer my question, if your system is like mine, only having a 4th gen I7 processor, will Windows update detect your system is incomparable, and NOT install Windows 11, or will it force the update, and screw my system up. I'm in the windows insider dev channel. I simply want an answer.

    If you were in the Dev channel prior to 24th June and remained there, windows update will offer you windows 11, even though the device does not meet the specs.

    if you joined the dev channel after the 24th June, your device must meet the currently published specs in order to be offered windows 11.

    if you have been in the dev channel for more than 10 days, you will need to clean install windows 10 in order to switch to a different channel. (less than 10 days, you can use the rollback feature in settings)

    [for info - it works fine on my 4th gen i3]

    They are unlikely to support 4th gen cpus or reply. I have asked many questions about windows 10 dev releases and windows 11 without 1 answer that I could try. I have an i9 10th generation with an nvidia 2060 super video card and 32 go of ram and do on. But no TPM so I am screwed.

    It does not seem fair to me that a PC with AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF CPU configuration, 16gb DDR4 RAM, AMD RX570.1 video storage plus 250gb SSD does not meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11 !!

    你好，很高兴及时接收到win11预览版本，更新之后个人体验很惊艳，流程，非常好，辛苦攻城狮们。我个人有个小小建议，就是在设置-蓝牙-蓝牙设备没有显示电量，比如蓝牙鼠标，蓝牙耳机，建议可以显示已链接蓝牙设备电量。
