Users testify about what happens if you install the Windows 11 24H2 update on an old PC. If these returns are to be believed, attempting the operation is worth it.
You may be one of the lucky ones who have already been able to install the Windows 11 24H2 update. Launched on October 1, it is being deployed to all compatible computers, but depending on their configuration, it may take several weeks before Microsoft decides to make it available. The company wants to ensure upstream that no driver will disrupt the operation of the system because it does not support the 24H2 version.
The most impatient can always force the installation, either by going through a official ISO imageor by the canal preview by registering for the program Windows Insider. This is what several users did who all have one thing in common: they updated Windows 11 even though technically, their PCs do not have the minimum configuration requirements by the Redmond firm. And yet, the game was clearly worth it.
