Are you not planning to upgrade to Windows 11 yet?According to foreign media“XDA Developer Forum”According to reports, Microsoft is about to add another hardware specification threshold for Windows 11 to block unofficial upgrade methods.

Therefore, as many as 70% of users still stick to Windows 10. However, there are many ways to bypass the hardware requirements of Windows 11, so that even if the computer specifications do not meet the standards, it can still be upgraded to Windows 11. Microsoft’s latest changes are to block similar unofficial methods.

This restriction will block all CPU processors from 15 years ago, because POPCNT was first gradually added to AMD and Intel processors in 2006 and 2008. If you want to upgrade to Windows 11 in the future, I am afraid you will have to change it. Computer.
It is rumored that the release date of Windows 12 will be delayed and Windows 10 will be eliminated next year
Although there have been a lot of rumors about the next generation of Windows 12 computers recently, foreign media “WindowsLatest” also found in a support document that Microsoft confirmed that it will release the Windows 11 24H2 version codenamed “Hudson Valley” at the end of 2024, which is not the rumored Windows. 12. It is feared that the release time of the new system will be pushed back.
As for Windows 10, which currently has nearly 70% of the market share, it is expected to be completely phased out on October 14, 2025, and will no longer provide security updates and technical support. Will Windows 12 be launched by then to meet the replacement wave? It remains to be announced by the official follow-up.
