***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.

    This is what I read on the Windows Blog:

    https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2021/06/24/preparing-for-insider-preview-builds-of-windows-11/

    All Windows Insider Program participants who have already installed builds from the Dev Channel on their PCs until June 24, 2021 will be able to continue installing Windows 11 Insider Preview builds even if the PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements.

    PC insiders already in the Dev channel have installed and provided feedback on feature builds of Windows 11 since last year.

    Our way of saying thank you is to go ahead and give them the opportunity to see it all come together.

    However, this comes with some important trade-offs we want to call attention to: As these devices do not meet the new hardware requirements, there may be issues and bugs impacting the Windows 11 experience on these PCs that may not be fixed.

    If at any point something goes wrong on one of these PCs that requires you to go back to Windows 10, you can use the media creation tool here to go back to Windows 10.

    These PCs won't be granted another exception and won't be allowed to run update to Windows 11 Insider Preview builds again.

    They will be treated like a new PC and the minimum hardware requirements will be enforced as outlined above.

    Once Windows 11 is generally available, these PCs will be disabled from flight and will not be able to receive future builds of Windows 11 Insider Preview.

    These PCs need to clean the installation on Windows 10 with the media (ISO) provided and can then join the Release Preview channel to preview Windows 10 updates.

    Currently on my pc there is the build 21390 Dev, if I go to the Windows Insider page it tells me that even if the pc is not compatible it will continue to receive Build so that the final version does not come out and then I have to install Windows 10? on Windows 10 how long will the security updates last at least in the PRO version?

    I have laptop Dell Precision 3510 with TPM 2.0 support and Secure Boot is enabled.

    When I install and run Health Checker on Windows 11 it show that I can't run Win 11 on this PC.

    Is there also some settings that must be OK (Cloud Backup, OneDrive) before you get correct result?

    Hi Pauli O,

    See if the processor is listed in the supported ones.

    Also they are supposed to update the PC Health Checker to indicate what it does not like.
