If it's just an installer check then people could just use the old installer versions and update afterward right? Or are they planning on stopping updates for unsupported hardware that already installed windows 11?
Why though? This just means that Windows 11 will run on more devices? Why is so important for your device to have a TPM and Secure Boot enabled, and a supported processor? If I were Microsoft, I would put the requirements even lower or even removed them.

This is just Vista all over again. Calm down people. Go to Linux or church if you're scared.
The difference is, that you could just continue using XP until Win7 was released or continue using Win7 until Win10 was released. Win10 will reach end of life next year and then the only supported Windows will be Windows 11. Vista or Win8 were never as forced as Win11 is now.
I only use Windows 11 because it came preinstalled on the latest laptop I bought. Otherwise I have been a Linux user for over 15 years and will switch back sooner or later. Microsoft is making their products the immoral choice and I do recommend boycotting them.
Honestly surprised something similar isn't the cutting edge.
Wait a second... We have repealable "ownership" of digital media all over, my mistake!
I've literally been trying to install windows 11 several times. I've made my PC support it, but the update just breaks and rolls back every time
When googling I see others with the same issue but no solution
