Windows 11 Watermark Warning for Unsupported Hardware

In Build 22000.593, Microsoft has officially brought a desktop watermark for PCs that do not meet the official system requirements.

But, there are some ways for you to bypass these requirements and install Windows 11. Although the workarounds work for unsupported hardware, you may get the system requirements not met watermark.

This watermark was previously found in preview builds but now it makes its way into the production channel with KB5011563. At the right bottom of the desktop screen, you can see a message saying “System requirements not met. Go to Settings to learn more”.
