***UPDATE***

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.

Your new hardware requirements are obsurd. I have 2 PC's that doesn't meet the requirements for Windows 11. My Laptop should as it came out last year, but no that isn't the case because the CPU isn't supported. It even has a TPM 2.0 Chip. My Desktop computer that came with Windows 10 doesn't meet the requirements due to having no TPM 2.0 Chip, no compatible CPU. The only PC in the house that is Windows 11 compatible, is my mother's new computer. Oh and Microsoft was supposed to keep improving Windows 10 and not abandon it like they did with so many other Operating Systems. I may go to Apple and buy me an iMac and a MacBook. Apple supports old hardware unlike Microsoft. If I see a chance in the requirements, and they are more lenient towards old hardware, I might be willing to be a Microsoft customer again. But until then, I don't think so. You are losing a lot of customers, Microsoft. Nobody wants to go buy a brand new PC every time a new OS of Windows rolls out. STOP and Listen to your customers!

This is incorrect. I am running 11 with a discrete TPM 2 chip set accordingly in UEFI and have been since the dev builds were released.

For info my CPU is an i9-9900K.

Hi I was in Dev Insider and downloaded windows 11, it was great and enjoyed the experience, then

my SSD crashed, I had to reload windows 10, now I cant get back into Dev or get Windows 11 Back, any

suggestions please.

Did you get Win 11 as being insider before 24.06.?

Quotes from blog:

All Windows Insiders who have already been installing builds from the Dev Channel on their PCsup through June 24, 2021 will be allowed to continue installing Windows 11 Insider Preview builds even if their PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements.

If at any point something goes wrong on one of these PCs that requires having to go back to Windows 10, you can use the media creation tool here to go back to the Windows 10. These PCs will not be given another exception and not allowed to upgrade to Windows 11 Insider Preview builds again.
