***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.

    Buddy, it's a good thing. But even somehow if the your does not meet the the minimum hardware requirement; your PC might crash as might not be able to hold the load!

    A Microsoft blog also says that "In preparation for releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview builds to the Beta Channel later this summer, we are moving PCs that do not meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11 in the Beta Channel to the Release Preview Channel. Some of these PCs may be able to move back to the Beta Channel, but at their own risk. See the above chart for details."

    So think what can happen in the dev channel!

    Thank you!

    Your computer IS supported. Be sure to enable fTPM!

    No need to buy anything,.. Just head into the UEFI, search and enable fTPM.

    What's going to happen to installed programs/apps if you install the Insider build of Windows 11? Nothing? Or will every program/app be deleted like on a Windows 10 refresh?
