Windows 10 users have begun to worry about the end of this version of the operating system, given the technical impossibility of updating to Windows 11, with minimum requirements very important.
For some time now, the idea has spread that Windows 11 can now be installed on computers that do not meet the minimum requirements, among which the TPM 2.0 or Secure Platform Module stands out.
As Microsoft has already explained on several occasions, This requirement is essentialsince it is a hardware component that has been designed to launch functions related to hardware-based security.
In this sense, the risk of trying to install Windows 11 on a PC that does not have TPM 2.0, as is more than logical, has mostly to do with the security and integrity of your data, for which you will not have Microsoft support.
“This computer does not meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11—these requirements help ensure a reliable, higher-quality experience. It is not recommended to install Windows 11 on this computer as it may cause compatibility issues.”
And it continues: “If you proceed to install Windows 11, your computer will no longer be compatible and you will not be able to receive updates. If damage occurs to your computer due to lack of compatibility, it will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. By selecting Accept, you acknowledge who reads and understands this statement.
In this way, the company behind Windows makes a disclaimer at all levels, in case you have chosen to take this path, which could only lead to bigger problems with the use of unsupported software.
This is because you will not have Windows Update at your serviceso the complementary security updates of the operating system will not reach your computer, potentially seriously compromising the integrity of the PC.
That said, Microsoft has not yet announced any alternatives for users who do not meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11 and are still using Windows 10, a version that will end support in 2025.
In any case, the manufacturer could offer an alternative before this happens; Otherwise, the only solution would be to invest in new hardware or, if you prefer, start using another operating system.
In Linux, for example, you have an endless number of distributions that can adapt to the use you make of your computer. And fortunately, it hardly has any hardware limitations.
