Ineligible Windows 10 users have had the upgrade pushed to their computers, and not for the first time.
Windows 11 upgrades were recently offered to some Windows 10 users with PCs that did not meet the requirements for the newer operating system.
The major clanger dropped by Microsoft was made worse by the fact that this is the second time such an upgrade has been pushed to devices that don’t actually meet the system specs required for Windows 11.
PhantomOfEarth first highlighted that this was happening on Twitter when the Windows leaker was offered Windows 11 on a PC with just 2GB of RAM (when the OS needs a minimum of 4GB).
The installation failed, though, when PhantomOfEarth tried to go through with the upgrade to see what happened.
Microsoft further clarified in a support document (opens in new tab) (spotted by The Verge (opens in new tab)) that a number of ineligible Windows 10 version 21H2 PCs had seen the upgrade to Windows 11 offer, but that: “Devices that experienced this issue were not able to complete the upgrade installation process.
