Microsoft apologies for compatibility confusion – hints at changes

In an unsigned blog post, Microsoft today apologized for creating confusion over the minimum system requirements for Windows 11 in its launch event last week and pledged to “learn and adjust,” based on customer feedback. The post also offered a much-needed explanation for the two most controversial items on the list: the requirement for a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0, and a CPU compatibility list that cuts off most pre-2018 processors.

Microsoft is also pulling its PC Health Check app, acknowledging this it was “not fully prepared to share the level of detail or accuracy you expected from us on why a Windows 10 PC doesn’t meet upgrade requirements.” The app will reappear before the projected general availability of Windows 11 later this year. (That release date is likely to be in October.)
