With what may be the very first time, an OS said, " It isn't you, it's me." In case your PC doesn't meet the minimum hardware requirements to correctly operate the upcoming Windows 11 operating-system, Microsoft has begun giving users the boot from its ongoing Windows Insider testing program. If you've been testing out the upcoming OS but your system has been found wanting, you'll receive this warning message.

"Your PC doesn't meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11", accompanied by "our device is not eligible to join the Windows Insider Program on Windows 11. Please install Windows 10 to participate in the Windows Insider Program in the discharge Preview Channel."

It seems just like a breakup or just being passed off to a friend as Microsoft is dropping systems they've deemed ineligible from the insider program. Of course, all of this increases the recent fears from PC users that they will now be pushed to purchase entirely new devices if they desire to use the upcoming Windows 11 OS, plus some people are very unhappy about it.

Windows users trying out the upcoming OS started receiving the incompatible message the 2009 week, around the same time Microsoft announced October 5th because the release date for Windows 11. Microsoft alerted testers it's entirely possible that if their systems didn't meet minimum system requirements that they could be booted out.

Microsoft's minimum system requirements for that new Windows 11 OS happen to be a bit confusing, with a number of different lists being discovered, causing concern and confusion. There is an ISO version you can install and use but Microsoft is warning users that this kind of install won't be supported and does not receive Windows updates of any kind.

Microsoft urges users to reinstall Windows 10, that they continues to aid until 2025, only three and half years away. Most loyal Windows users will most likely buy a new PC over the following 3 years anyway, so the tech giant doesn't appear to think it is a serious problem. However, we all know people still use Windows 7 and Internet Explorer, which could get interesting.

Because of its part, Microsoft had justified the minimum requirements in line with the need for security improvements using TPM (Trusted Platform Module) technology and UEFI Secure Boot and virtualization-based security methods, that they discussed once they first announced the upcoming Windows 11 this past June.

Approaching the October 5, release date, Microsoft will most likely enhance the upcoming Windows 11 OS and release more test builds. Will Windows 11 arrive and run smoothly, or will this be a buggy disaster that we will tell our grandchildren about? We shall see.

Meanwhile, without a doubt a scary story about an OS called Windows 8, just kidding.
