The same thing has happened here in Japan. I've got self-build PC using i7-7700k, and had been running it on W10. After W11 was released, Windows updates had been kept saying your PC is not W11 upgradable. On June 8, however, all of a sudden, a message came saying your PC is now W11 upgradable. From the windows updates panel, I downloaded the upgrade package and installed it. It's been working just fine. I wondered how it happened and net searched to find this loong exchange of messages. I did not read them all, skipped the middle, and came down to your message which is exactly the same with mine. Does this mean Microsoft had changed their mind?

yowatta Yep, it is during the 1-2 days period when Microsoft offered Windows 11 Upgrade to i7 7700k, Our PC supports every other requirement, and Motherboard supports TMP 2.0 too, I have been getting regular updates, so no need to worry, keep using Windows 11.

On this same PC, I've got several shortcut icons of NAS which were carried over from W10 level. All of them have been working fine. Today, I happened to erroneously delete one of them. I tried to recover it: I created shortcut icon in higher folder, then tried to drug and drop it on the desktop. To my surprise, the system came back with an error, '0x80070026: Reached the end of the file'. What has happened ?! It's only 1.7KB. - yowattaJul 01, 2022Copper ContributorWe are lucky guys. There are unlucky guys, like Chris1231, out there. MS should open up W11 to these unlucky guys who missed the 1-2 days window. Rich1000sf is rightly making the point on his June 29 post.
