After all the controversy raised by Windows 11 and its demanding requirements, it only remained to see what would happen to cumulative updates. Now, with the first cumulative update, there was a lot of expectation to know if the equipment not officially supported would receive updates. The answer is simple, yes.
Unsupported computers receive the first cumulative update for Windows 11
Despite the threats or fear of Microsoft’s messages when updating to Windows 11, many have made the leap. No, nothing terrible has happened and your equipment has stopped working. It’s more, It seems that they are receiving the first cumulative update without major problems.
We just received the first Patch Tuesday Windows 11, and HTNovo has indicated that they have been able to update an unsupported PC without major problems. These teams can download the full cumulative update and the .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 update that is coming to all computers.
Microsoft may not be able to choose who to send the updates to at the moment, or it may just be a suggestion rather than anything else. The truth is that currently all those who have upgraded to Windows 11 can not only work with their computer, but can receive updates. We’ll see what happens when the first system feature update arrives.
This situation is surprising since in the program Windows Insider the message was very clear, we could not receive new updates and our PC would return to Windows 10. However, at the moment it seems that Microsoft is being more permissive than they said.
