I’ve asked Microsoft to clarify what constitutes an “unsupported state.” Does this mean no security updates ever? Anything else? So far, no response. Update (August 28): An “unsupported state,” in this case, means your PC won’t be entitled to receive updates via Windows Update. These may (or may not) include security and driver updates. As a result, your PC may encounter compatibility issues and become unusable, may experience issues that Microsoft support won’t be able to help resolve, and may not be covered by warranty. Microsoft is releasing a new and (hopefully) improved version of its PC Health Check app that is designed to let users know if their current devices will be able to run Windows 11. This app will be tested first by Windows Insiders starting today and later roll out to all users. Microsoft also announced today, August 27, a new Windows 11 Insider preview build – No. 22000.168 – for those in both the Dev and Beta channels.
