Since Microsoft announced Windows 11, the next version of their operating system, some users have been up in arms about the high system requirements.

Now, Microsoft has said that older, unsupported PCs may still be allowed to install Windows 11 if done so manually.

However, unsupported PCs will still not receive OS updates via Windows Update, leaving them vulnerable to cyber attacks.
