Microsoft kicks older PCs out of Windows 11 testing

On the same day that the Windows 11 launch date was announced, Microsoft began stopping PCs with unsupported hardware from installing early versions of the new OS.

Users currently running Windows 11 Insider builds on unsupported hardware have started receiving a notification under the Windows Insider Program section of Windows Update, which states that their PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11.
 
Don't blame them for enforcing this. Windows has taken a lot of flak for security concerns.
 
Sales pitch that's all, for clients to upgrade the hardware onsite... Boast worldwide hardware sales...
