The real reason behind high hardware requirements for Windows 11

[Alex George]

Microsoft is pushing hard to abandon Windows 10 and migrate to Windows 11 without mentioning the actual reason for the higher hardware requirements to run Windows 11. What do you think is the reason behind the comparably higher minimum hardware requirements for running Windows 11 on a device?

The actual reason behind the high minimum hardware threshold for Windows 11 is the dirty collaboration between Microsoft Corporation and the hardware companies. This minimum hardware requirement restriction forces many to buy new laptops.

It is a trick to force people buy brand new laptops. Many old models are ineligible to upgrade to Windows 11 Operating System.

Intentional bloatware to reduce performance. So, people will go for better hardware configuration.

The official explanation from Microsoft for the higher hardware requirement is due to the enhanced security feature of Windows 11. They claim Windows 11 is extra secure with Secure and Trusted boot. I am sure many of our members will disagree.

The minimum requirement set by Windows 11 is very high. I am planning to buy a new laptop preinstalled with Windows 11. May be that is the motive behind this decision by Microsoft.
