In addition to an impending end-of-support deadline, there are other more tangible signs you might need a new PC. Further, Microsoft said damages to your PC due to lack of compatibility are not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. Devices that do not meet the system requirements will no longer be guaranteed to receive updates, including but not limited to security updates. Microsoft has made the computer specifications for upgrading to Windows 11 clear and has warned: Your device might malfunction due to compatibility or other issues. The hardware that allows a PC to run Windows 11 is significantly more demanding than the hardware to run Windows 10, and any machine running an earlier version of Windows will most certainly not be compatible with Windows 11.

If your PC is more than a few years old, there’s a good chance it’s not compatible with Windows 11.
