Microsoft presented the very first Windows 11 cumulative update the 2009 week, and given it was area of the Patch Tuesday rollout, it obviously included several critical fixes for devices available.

As numerous people know already, Windows 11 comes with updated system requirements, meaning some devices are prohibited to set up the new operating-system unless they pass certain CPU verifications and TPM 2.0 validation.

Of course, some people available found ways to bypass these checks, so Windows 11 wound up running on unsupported hardware as well.

And as it turns out, this initial Windows 11 cumulative update installs all right on devices that shouldn't be running the new operating-system to begin with, and today everyone is thinking they could just stay on Windows 11 forever without worrying of not getting any updates.

The first feedback from reddit users who installed Windows 11 on unsupported hardware indicates the cumulative update was deployed on their own computers as with every other update.

Microsoft recommends against installing Windows 11 on unsupported PCs

Microsoft, however, says users who install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware could end up experiencing all kinds of problems, including app crashes as well as BSODs.

"From Windows Insider machines, the ones that didn't satisfy the minimum system requirements had 52% more kernel mode crashes (blue screens) compared to those that did meet the requirements. Machines that met what's needed provided a 99.8% crash-free experience that's effectively managed by OEMs and IHVs through modern driver update management. Additionally, on unsupported hardware app hangs are 17% more likely and for first-party apps we see 43% more crashes," Microsoft said.

At this time, however, it's known what's the proportion of unsupported Windows 11 devices running the new operating system.
