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.

    My Intel HEDT doesn't meet requirements even though not much has fully changed since Broadwell-E (I know some AVX instructions and tweaks) - I'm running an i7-6900k/1080Ti/32GB/1TB NVME + another 10TB of other storage space.  
    I'm hoping the team at MSFT plans to make some tweaks for those of us who are power users and enterprise deployment - really would love to test this out (and now I know work arounds due to tools I have for work) Looks like I will be sending some emails to certain people.

    Perhaps you could change the Channel that the older systems are on?  If Dev becomes Win 11 you could move them to Beta (or the other way around.

    You could also opt out the older devices from Insider.

    Wonder if this means that Microsoft will just say keep the current version' and use it as normal Windows .   

    Have to be asking at this point what will be Insider for Win 10 after Win 11 goes public.

    Okay, this is absurd.  I have four computers in my home and NOT ONE of them will be eligible for upgrade to Windows 11 once it's commercially released.  My very best computer would need TPM enabled AND have my MBR changed to GPT, which risks data loss.  None of the other computers have a UEFI BIOS format, and I'm not sure if they even have a TPM module.  All four of my computers run Windows 10 without ANY problems.  It is RIDICULOUS to expect users to either radically change their configurations or purchase a brand new PC just to install a version of Windows.  Didn't Micro$oft learn anything from the Vista fiasco when it came to hardware?  I have no intention of buying a new computer, nor risking changing my hard drive boot configuration only to brick an SSD with over 800+ GB data on it.  Sorry, Micro$oft, you're really screwing the pooch here.

    The TPM 2.0 requirement is stupid and the supported CPU list is nonsense.

    Time for linux to shine at last!
