By now, we are all conversant withset system requirementsthat a user is required to have under the hood to run the Windows 11 OS. These restrictions have led some users to use workarounds to get the OS on their unsupported devices. As it now appears, even Microsoft employees have now joined the bandwagon too.

As spotted byAathif Mahir on Twitter, Claton Hendricks, a Program Manager at Microsoft, had a Core i7-7660U processor running under the hood while discussing the new Task Manager which is set to reach Windows Insider soon. The device is not part ofMicrosoft’s list of supported devices. (via Digital Trends)

It has been established that it is possible torun Windows 11 on an unsupported device.According to Microsoft, though, the downside to this is that the user willnot receive any security updateswhich potentially exposes them to a lot of risks. Of course, this hasn’t been proven to be true. Unsupported Windows 11 systems are still getting monthly security updates today, but Microsoft could reserve the right to pull these updates at any time.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
