Some tech news outlets are reporting that Microsoft has officially reversed course and will allow Windows 11 to be installed on unsupported PCs. That's not true, the support document they are citing as new evidence has been on Microsoft's site since 2021: https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-windows-11-on-devices-that-don-t-meet-minimum-system-requirements-0b2dc4a2-5933-4ad4-9c09-ef0a331518f1
Internet Archive first archived the support document in October 2021, and the main warning messages haven't really changed. Microsoft is not changing anything here, but I wish they would.
