Why Microsoft’s messy Windows 11 update is actually great news for users

[Chris Smith]

After plenty of teasing and various leaks, Microsoft last week unveiled the operating system upgrade we were all waiting for. Windows 11 is official, and it’s more than a Windows 10 theme that’s good enough to warrant a new name. Microsoft developed several new features for the Windows 10 upgrade we thought we’d never get, and you can already try Windows 11 via the Insider Preview. That’s if your relatively new Windows 10 hardware can support the upgrade.

Microsoft’s Windows 11 hardware requirements mess is the biggest Windows 11 controversy so far. The OS update will be available for free to Windows 10 device users. But that’s only if said hardware can run Windows 11. Before you freak out that your laptop and desktop don’t seem to qualify for the update, which will be available to you despite the CPU or TPM incompatibility issues you might develop, I’ll explain why Microsoft’s messy Windows 11 update is actually great news for everyone.
