Is Windows 11 Adoption Slowest Ever? 42% of users cut out of the requirements

That the launch of Windows 11 would have been different than in the past it was clear right away, when Microsoft shared the requirements – demanding and sometimes difficult to interpret – necessary to be able to install the new operating system.

It was evident that a significant number of the machines with Windows 10 installed would not be able to switch to the new version of the OS. The results of the latest Lansweeper survey must therefore surprise up to a certain point: 42% of Windows users do not have a suitable computer for the transition to Windows 11.

Of these, 42.76% do not have a Windows 11 compatible processor, 14.66% do not have the TPM chip required for the update, while about 71.5% do not reach the minimum RAM requirements (4GB ).

That’s a big deal, given that so many of the computers that fall into the ‘outcast’ group are probably for business use. How long will it be before they are cut off from major security updates?

As for home users, the rush to upgrade their home computer to the latest model (if there ever was) has slowed down significantly in recent years. Microsoft finds itself in a complex situation: to push the adoption of Windows 11 it must first convince users to change their computers, at a cost of several hundred dollars. Virtually a mission impossible. Things don’t look set to change in the foreseeable future.
