Microsoft accidentally offers Windows 11 upgrades to unsupported PCs yet again.

Microsoft once again grabbed headlines as reports emerged that the tech giant mistakenly offered the Windows 11 upgrade to PCs with unsupported hardware. This is not the first time Microsoft has made this mistake, but now the company has come forward to clarify the situation.

However, it seems that a recent update to the Windows Update system bypassed some of these checks, leading to unsupported PCs being offered the Windows 11 upgrade. Microsoft has said that affected PCs were unable to complete the upgrade process because their hardware did not meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11.

In a support note, Microsoft said: "We've been working tirelessly to make sure Windows 11 delivers a great experience on the widest range of devices, and we're confident it will be. We're here to stay." We also apologise, and we want to give our assurances." To our customers, we are committed to providing a seamless and secure upgrade experience for all eligible devices."

This isn't the first time Microsoft has mistakenly offered a Windows 11 upgrade to unsupported hardware. In fact, the news of this happening had come to the fore last year as well. At the time, Microsoft attributed the problem to a bug in the Windows Update system, which was quickly patched.

Despite these developments, Microsoft remains committed to ensuring that Windows 11 is only offered to PCs that meet the minimum hardware requirements. The most controversial of which require an Intel 8th Gen Coffee Lake or Zen 2 CPU and above, with very few exceptions.
