Old hardware means old drivers, Microsoft warns
If you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple of months, you might be shocked to learn that only some Windows 10 devices are eligible for the switch to Windows 11. And this is because Microsoft has updated the system requirements, therefore allowing only PCs with 8th-gen and newer processors (the company has recently added a couple of 7th-gen Intel processors to the list as well, but the original requirements are largely unchanged) to install Windows 11. And the reason is as simple as it could be: Microsoft says all the changes it has made in Windows 11 required powerful hardware, as otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to benefit from state-of-the-art security, compatibility, and performance.
