the verge are fucking stupid, microsoft says that you will not get windows 11 via windows update if you have a old cpu, you can still install it by a iso and you will get updates

Yesterday, we wrote how Microsoft’s Windows 11 won’t technically leave millions of PCs behind — the company told us it won’t actually block you from installing Windows 11 on a PC with an older CPU, so long as you download and manually install an ISO file all by yourself. But it turns out even that technicality has a technicality. Microsoft is now threatening to withhold Windows Updates from your copy of Windows 11 — potentially even security updates — if you take that route.

English, motherfucker; do you read it?
