My PC after Windows 11 is released
My PC is compatible with W11 although I am currently running Insider Preview. I wonder what is going to happen to my PC when W11 is released. Can someone please explain?
Thanks

please see this discussion- I see. So, if I upgrade my hardware, install W10, get back to Insider, and get W11 going again, I finally will have the released version of W11?
- Microsoft will release more details in future , however in case you are using Beta channel, you will be able to upgrade to the stable release. In other cases, you might have to reinstall Windows 10 and then upgrade to Windows 11. But you have to wait for official announcement from Microsoft.
- I've made a mistake in my OP. It should say NOT compatible. I am not using Beta channel since I cannot switch to it.
It depends on how incompatible your system is to the main requirements. They released a statement not too long ago that was basically saying they won't stop people from installing win 11 if they obtain a copy of the os and slap onto their system (source below). If its just the cpu is a slightly outside of the requirements you may be able to do a reinstall with a physical copy of the released os with the understanding that its neither ideal or supported. But I believe that the TPM hardware is the mandatory hard floor.
