After all, the first update of Windows 11 is rolling out to unsupported PCs
The first update for Windows 11 has been released, and despite various warnings to users on unsupported hardware, they may not receive an update to the operating system, but it seems that many people have received at least the initial update.
Microsoft is currently warning users who use older hardware that is not officially supported by its new operating system that they will not be entitled to receive updates. But I think there is a difference between whether Microsoft thinks your PC is worth owning, and whether it rolls out specific updates to your machine.
For the first update of Windows 11 released on October 12th, users may be lucky. Multiple reports from the web (Reddit, Win the future, Digital trends, To name a few) indicates that the latest update is being automatically downloaded to a technically unsupported machine.
The update itself includes security improvements and fixes issues with Intel Killer and SmartByte network software. Therefore, if this error has been bothering you, it may be an important fix.
However, what the update has not fixed is the Ryzen L3 cache delay problem, according to reports Significantly reduce the speed of AMD processors.
But here I hope that Microsoft is willing to continue to update unsupported hardware, although doing so does not prevent Microsoft from closing the door to update older CPUs.
If you haven’t switched to Windows 11, we won’t blame you, but you also need to check that your PC passes the Microsoft 11 security test, and Computer requirements. Any 8th generation Intel or Ryzen 3000 series processors or newer processors are ready, and some older processors have passed the test, but not all.
