according to news on october 7, microsoft clearly stated in the latest official support document that the best way to recommend users to upgrade to windows 11 is to purchase a new computer. microsoft has set strict hardware requirements for windows 11, including support for tpm 2.0 processors, which has led to many users being unable to meet the system requirements and looking for workarounds.

as the windows 10 support period approaches the end, microsoft seems to prefer that users simply retire their old devices and buy new computers. in an official support article faq, microsoft gives clear advice on how to maintain windows support: buy a new computer with windows 11 pre-installed.

microsoft emphasizes that modern computers are more powerful, secure and fast, and encourages users to upgrade their hardware. however, some users have found that some older computers are fully capable of running windows 11, and even have improved performance after updating to windows 11 24h2. still, microsoft's stance could prompt more users to retire devices they still use, exacerbating the e-waste problem.
