In an updated support page, first spotted by Neowin, Microsoft confirms that installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware will trigger several consequences, including a watermark on the desktop, notifications in Settings, potential performance issues, and a recommendation to go "back to Windows 10."

I do love it when my computer decides it wants to make my life a living hell because I didn't buy the correct device.

Use Linux wherever you can, if the presence of the Linux desktop increases then it will only get better.

I'll be switching to Mint. Boy for hating open source software Micro$hit really does a good job advertising for them, huh?

Already switched to Debian on my laptop. Once I learn it enough I'll switch my desktop as well and never look back.

I might pirate Windows 11 for games on the off chance a game isn't supported but I'd probably just drop the game ngl.
