I wonder how this will play out. It was my understanding that the whole forced updates on Windows 10, free upgrade from 7 / 8, etc were meant to cut down on the number of people running old, unpatched versions.
For what it's worth, I installed Win 11 on an unsupported computer (4th gen Xeon, no tpm) out of curiosity and I did get updates. Of course, that doesn't mean it will happen forever.
- OldTimeCoffee 5y agoI'd assume long term they're going to do more with TPMs. Once they start pushing patches that require a TPM, unsupported configurations won't be able to receive that update.
- WarOnPrivacy 5y agoMy 10yo notebook (TPM 1.2) wound up with it via insider. Since updating, my security updates went from 1-3/wk to 1/mo.
- vladvasiliu 5y agoAre you still on insider? Isn't that more related to the fact that it went from "beta" / preview to "ready"? I used to be on the Win10 insider ring for a few months a while back, to try WSL2 and I seem to remember updates were more frequent. Otherwise, I seem to get one update per month for a regular win10 pro install.
- WarOnPrivacy 5y agoI think I was kicked out because my T430 doesn't meet the requirements of Win 11 (that I was duped into installing).
