Microsoft admitted that some of the requirements are not set in stone, especially the processor restrictions may be lifted before the operating system is released officially.
Windows 11's system requirements differ from those of previous versions of Windows. The latter would mean that all data that is on the devices won't carry over to the new system. These devices would need two major upgrades, first to Windows 10 and then to Windows 11, or a fresh install of Windows 11. Microsoft revealed earlier that there won't be a direct upgrade path to Windows 11 from Windows 7 or 8.1 systems. Microsoft's new Windows 11 operating system will be released later this year the system will be a free upgrade for devices running Windows 10, provided that they have a genuine activated license and meet the system requirements.
