Unfortunately, Microsoft has been providing Windows 11 upgrades to machines that aren’t eligible to get them. The software company is keeping up the pressure with marketing and upgrades despite the fact that its newest OS has a ways to go before it can catch up to Windows 10.
Yet it appears that Microsoft has been incorrectly dangling the upgrade bait in front of owners of incompatible computers in an effort to increase Windows 11 usage. The Windows 11 upgrade offer problem stated above has, thankfully, been resolved by Microsoft.

According to Microsoft’s most current statement in its known issues and notifications portal, “certain hardware ineligible Windows 10, version 21H2 machines were given an inaccurate upgrade to Windows 11.” These ineligible devices did not fulfill Windows 11’s minimal system requirements. Devices with this problem could not finish installing the update.
Users of Windows 10 22H2, Windows 10 21H2, and Windows 10 20H2 were vulnerable. Microsoft claims it learned of the upgrades problem on Thursday and congratulates itself for fixing the problem “on the same day“.
It’s not ideal to force a user to upgrade to Windows 11 by breaking their will and then take the new version of the operating system away from them. The time spent guiding consumers through the upgrading procedure and then having it fail could have been wasted if they had to start over.
It’s unclear how far the upgrade had gotten when it was halted, or if the older installations were damaged in any way. One Windows user did note, however, that the huge updater files were downloading in preparation for installation.
Windows Usage Stats
The latest global internet traffic data from StatCounter indicates that Windows 11 is used by about 18% of desktop PCs. Just 9.5% of visitors are still using Windows 7, whereas 69% of visitors are using Windows 10. On the other hand, Windows 8.X and Windows XP are almost completely obsolete.
Looking at the StatCounter graph over the past year, it appears that Windows 11 will have a long way to go before it overtakes Windows 10.
Although support for Windows 10 Home and Pro is set to expire in October 2025, Microsoft will be hoping that the release of enticing new devices with Windows 11 preloaded would expedite the inevitable transition.
Even though Windows 11 had a shaky beginning, the platform received some significant updates in December, and by the end of the year, it was said that all of the problems with the OS’s performance in games had been fixed.
Microsoft is also working on integrating native support for RGB PC gaming devices in Windows 11. Without installing any third-party software, PC gamers may personalize their gaming setup with RGB lighting thanks to Windows’ built-in lighting feature.
It will take time for people to learn how to use the new interface. Please share your thoughts about Windows 11 down below.
