I'm pretty sure Microsoft will lower their minimal requirement. Currently it requires TPM version 2 which usually only available in newer devices (mine have one). It will be lowered when Windows 11 is really stable and ready to be released.

Well, if it's not, there is no big different between Windows 10 and 11 actually. I don't think I'm going to opt-in for insider build ... I'm going to wait to see if it's really worth it to upgrade. I feel like it's just the UI that changed, any else is pretty similar.

I don't think Microsoft will lower the minimal requirements about Secure Boot and TPM 2.0.

There requirements are also on the Insider Program, where I am currently, and it is just no sense to setup them during one of the most important part of development: testing. Why should they reduce the number of possibile testers with these requirements? I mean, more testers more feedback received.

But as said by @Mashiro, there requirements are not hard blocking.

I am currently writing from Windows 11 Insider Preview installed on a "unsupported" hardware: everything is fine and working, just some bugs that are to be excepted on a insider build.

To be specific, there is a issue with Windows Defender that I am trying to figure out and understand if it is related to the missing TPM.
