Briefly

Microsoft's latest Insider build 27686 has ended a workaround that allowed users to bypass hardware requirements for upgrading to Windows 11, impacting many eager users.
While previous workarounds let users dodge strict hardware checks, the changes in build 27686 indicate a tighter compatibility check, potentially forcing users to upgrade their hardware.
Microsoft's hardware requirements for Windows 11 have frustrated users, but recent updates now enforce compliance, leaving those without proper TPM hardware seeking alternative solutions.
The expectation surrounding the flexibility of server hardware checks for installing Windows has shifted, as Microsoft tightens its compatibility measures with build 27686, possibly signaling a new direction.
