Since Windows 11 shipped in 2021, Microsoft has received a lot of backlash, predominantly due to the operating system's stringent minimum system requirements and its flawed design elements compared to its predecessor. These have heavily contributed to Windows 11's loose grip in the market share, as it only recently managed to surpass Windows 10 as the most dominant desktop OS in the world, with a 50.88% hold on the market share.
But in a surprising turn of events, BornCity recently reported on a bizarre incident where Microsoft seemingly offered an upgrade to Windows 11 to unsupported hardware, even though it did not meet the system requirements (via Neowin).
