Microsoft publishes a warning when installing Windows 11 on non-compatible PCs: it will no longer be covered by the manufacturer's warranty

With Windows 11 just around the corner, there are many users who dare to install one of the available versions, either through the compilations released within the Insider Program or with an ISO image... even on unsupported computers. The problem is the message some users are encountering

And that's what happened to Tom Warren, editor of The Verge, who, when trying to install Windows 11 on a computer, found a warning that it was not compatible because it had a 7th generation Intel Core i7 processor and if you do so you will lose your manufacturer's warranty

If your equipment crashes, Microsoft doesn't care

To verify whether or not we can install Windows 11 on the PC we have several tools. The official PC He alth Check, which we already saw yesterday, or other alternatives like WhyNotWin11. These applications analyze our computer to determine if it meets the requirements and we can install Windows 11. And it seems that on non-compatible computers it will not be so easy or at least, it can have its consequences

According at least to Warren's experience. A notice that warns that the company is left out of possible damage to the PC due to the incompatibility of the computer with Windows 11. What amounts to a full-fledged disclaimerThis is the translated notice:

An eye-catching message. On the one hand, stopping receiving updates via Windows Update is a problem, but it is not insurmountable, because it is enough to download the different ISOs that are released. More cumbersome, yes, but the equipment is still up to date.

"

The most curious thing is the part where damage to your PC due to lack of compatibility is not covered by the manufacturer&39;s warranty . A rather enlightening phrase that can give a lot of play due to the implications it has."

Microsoft seems to put as many obstacles as necessary in the way of installing Windows 11 on an unsupported computer . It will not prevent it directly, but it will try to dissuade the most daring.
