Microsoft is announcing today that it won’t block people from installing Windows 11 on most older PCs. This means anyone with a PC with an older CPU that doesn’t officially pass the upgrade test can still go ahead and download an ISO file of Windows 11 and install the OS manually. Windows 11 will now run on older CPUs.
