    Spring Has Sprung
    FidoGazette Editor

    Spring is in the air here at the Dennis household. It's still a
    little cool for my tastes but it will be too hot for me soon enough so
    I should just enjoy the cool weather for now. I have been busy trying
    to do spring cleaning when I can in between everything else. You
    know, for being medically retired, I have a lot of things to do.

    This is a late edition of the 'Gazette as I have been out all day and
    finally got home a bit later than I planned on. Unfortunately I do
    not have a lot of content for this issue (hint hint!) but am hoping I
    will have more for next week.

    We do have an article from Andrew Leary, FTSC Administrator, about the
    recent FTSC election preliminary results, along with the usual sundry
    items.

    I hope this issue of the 'Gazette finds you well. Thank you for
    reading the FidoGazette, as always, and I look forward to your
    articles!

    Win 11 adds 'requirements not met' nag for unsupported hardware

    Don't wanna buy the latest stuff? Here's your watermark

    Brandon Vigliarolo
    Mon 21 Mar 2022 // 17:00 UTC

    Those running Windows 11 on unsupported hardware are getting an
    update, though not the kind that low-end hardware and VM users might
    be hoping for.

    The latest Release Preview of Windows 11 adds an undocumented feature
    that slaps a line of text in the lower right hand side of the Windows
    desktop and a similar warning in the Settings app for any system that
    fails to meet Windows 11's exacting standards.

    The message is short and to the point: "System requirements not met.
    Go to Settings to learn more."

    It's also far less obtrusive than the watermarks on unactivated
    Windows 11 systems, which shows inside full-screen apps. This one does
    not.

    Microsoft's strict hardware requirements for Windows 11 are well
    known, and the method for bypassing them is likely also known to
    anyone who needs to run Windows 11 on older computers or in a virtual
    environment.

    Even when circumvented, Microsoft takes pains to notify users, which
    can get cumbersome in enterprise environments. (This will be rare, as
    Windows 11 on unsupported hardware is nightmare fuel for admins.)

    However, the warnings are not as burdensome as the hardware
    requirements, which have kept Windows 11 software from running on
    countless machines that didn't meet the requisite 4GB RAM, 1GHz 64-bit
    processor.

    As of November 2021, Microsoft's latest operating system was only on
    0.21 percent of systems included in a survey of 10 million IT assets,
    compared to Windows XP's 3.62 percent.

    Microsoft didn't respond to a question about whether or not it plans
    to take any additional action against those running Windows 11 on
    unqualified hardware. The Windows-maker put a number of restrictions
    in place on unregistered copies of Windows 10, but hardware
    requirements aren't the same as violating terms of service.

    Microsoft would be setting itself up for serious PR blowback if it
    started restricting Windows 11 on unqualified hardware after upsetting
    people with strict hardware requirements in the first place.

    Microsoft has previously stated that Windows 11 installs on
    FGAZ 18-07 Page 3 21 Mar 2022


    unsupported hardware won't be entitled to updates, though when and how
    that cutoff is decided remains unclear, as this feature would have
    been pointless had that time already come.

    It's also worth noting that, as previously reported by The Register,
    hardware requirement checks on Windows 11 are only performed when
    upgrading a PC from Windows 10, and it's those instances where the
    bypass comes in, and where warnings will start to appear.

    Fresh Windows 11 installations from an ISO file don't check for
    hardware requirements, so if you're willing to start fresh you might
    be able to avoid this entire kerfuffle.

    Unless, that is, Microsoft is adding that watermark to all systems,
    even those with a fresh installation that didn't experience a hardware
    check with a prior version of Windows 11.
