The HN headline ("How to Install Windows 11 On A Device That Does Not Meet Windows 11 Requirements") is editorialized and does not reflect the article.
The correct headline is "Ways to install Windows 11". The article repeatedly emphasizes that Microsoft does not recommend installing Windows 11 on systems that do not meet their suggested minimum requirements.
- ngcc_hk 3y agoThis actually has that headline : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-windows-11-on-devices-that-don-t-meet-minimum-system-requirements-0b2dc4a2-5933-4ad4-9c09-ef0a331518f1 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-windo...
- ableal 3y agoThere is a page with the title used: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-windows-11-on-devices-that-don-t-meet-minimum-system-requirements-0b2dc4a2-5933-4ad4-9c09-ef0a331518f1 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-windo... Or close enough: "Installing Windows 11 on devices that don't meet minimum system requirements", it is linked in submitted page, it also contains the caution.
- zamadatix 3y agoMatches the last half well but still a completely different first half meaning. You can't just take any titles on a site, mash them together based on your takeaway, and call that the original title.
- belter 3y agoHN editorializes titles all the time.... :-0 In this case I did it to clarify the relevancy of the article. Would you see a title "Ways to install Windows 11" and then ask what is relevance to the HN audience? The main point is that it's possible, per this official Microsoft document, to bypass the check for TPM 2.0 (at least TPM 1.2 is required) and the CPU family and model. Help avoid the Microsoft induced eWaste.

- belter 3y agoYou do realize your comment, is endorsing changing the title of a research paper published by respected researchers of the Department of Physics by Illinois State University, Yale University and the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics? What is next? For example have you heard about this paper? "Attention is all you need" ? - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03762.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03762.pdf Atrocious title! And what about "Everybody Dance Now" - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.07371.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.07371.pdf Even worst...
- Dalewyn 3y agoIf you have a problem with the guidelines you can take it up with dang. As it stands, the guidelines state do not editorialize unless it's misleading or linkbait. The original headline for the article linked here is "Ways to install Windows 11", which is neither misleading nor clickbait/linkbait. >respected researchers Clickbait is clickbait, whether it comes from bearded wisemen or the drunk bloke sleeping across the street.
