Windows 11 refusing to install on hardware it can absolutely run on.
IP rating on smartphones so there's seals and glue everywhere and opening them up is a fucking nightmare.
U can still force an install on older hardware, I did it on my old Lenovo laptop and have t had an issue! Just takes a command to make it install despite "not officially being supported"
@innermachine @bobo1900 As of recently, you can officially install Win11 on unsupported hardware, you just have to click a prompt acknowledging that you're on your own when you do it.
However, there's nothing saying MS won't rugpull that and start blocking Win11 on unsupported hardware again.
