Microsoft accidentally starts offering Windows 11 upgrade to users with unsupported PCs
Microsoft has once again started sending out notifications to users with an offer to upgrade to Windows 11. Even to users whose devices do not meet the system requirements of the operating system.
Here's What We Know
This was reported by a Twitter user under the handle @PhanromOcean3:
Windows 11 free upgrade being offered to unsupported Windows 10 devices/VMs?

Microsoft has noted that unsupported devices that have received an update offer will not be able to complete the update. Therefore, if you know that your PC does not officially support the new OS, it is better not to even try.
Last year, a similar problem already occurred, but then users with unsupported hardware managed to upgrade, which only once again highlighted the strangeness of Windows 11's system requirements.
