Microsoft Windows 11 Incompatible With More Than 55% of Workstations? New Study Shows Negative Effects

Microsoft Windows 11 has been officially released across the globe this Oct. 5. This is currently the latest computer system version of the giant tech firm.

"An automatic upgrade is only possible if three critical components of the computer -- the CPU, the RAM, and the TPM -- meet the requirements necessary to execute the upgrade," explained the IT asset management software firm via its official blog post.

The findings that Lansweeper acquired were based on around 30 million computers and laptops from around 60,000 organizations. Involved experts explained that around 19% of the tested workstations failed to pass the RAM test.

On the other hand, 28% of them were not TPM (Trusted Platform Module) compatible. They also claimed that businesses that are unable to install the latest Windows 11 system version could suffer from security issues.

Why are Incompatible Workstations In Trouble?

Lansweeper's IT experts claimed that if your workstation is unable to upgrade to the latest Windows 11, then your sensitive data is at risk of massive leaks.

They explained that this could happen since Windows 10 would soon stop releasing security patches since Microsoft announced that the service will end this coming 2025.

Although you would no longer receive quality updates as well, the giant tech firm confirmed that Windows 10 would still work until its given deadline.
