Can Unsupported Computers Get Windows 11 Updates?

Windows 11 has been released for a while. As a new Windows version, Microsoft issues new hardware and software requirements for it. According to the official statement, only eligible computers can upgrade to Windows 11 via Windows Update. And Microsoft also said that even if you have installed Windows 11 on an unsupported computer, the device will not receive Windows 11 cumulative updates.

Due to this, many users abandon the idea of installing Windows 11 on their unsupported computers. However, can unsupported computers get Windows 11 updates?

Microsoft has released the first patch update on October 12, 2021. The result shows that unsupported computers also get this Windows 11 update. This seems to be different from what Microsoft said. Maybe for legal protection, Microsoft states the unsupported devices weren’t entitled to updates.

But does this mean that unsupported devices can always get Windows 11 cumulative updates? Not really. Microsoft can close the update entry of Windows 11 on unsupported devices at any time. You can keep attention.

Like other versions of Windows, Microsoft releases Windows 11 patch updates to bring security updates and fixes. To protect the computer and data on it, users wish to keep their Windows 11 up-to-date. If unsupported computers can get Windows 11 updates (that is, they can keep their Windows 11 computers up-to-date), more and more users may choose to install Windows 11.
