Microsoft has addressed a known issue behind unsupported computers being offered Windows 11 22H2 upgrades and unable to complete the installation process.
This has happened before, with Windows 11 22H2 being offered to Windows 11 Insiders in the Release Preview channel with ineligible devices.
On Friday, customers reported on Reddit and Twitter that unsupported devices were once again targeted with Windows 11 upgrades.
"Some hardware ineligible Windows 10 and Windows 11, version 21H2 devices were offered an inaccurate upgrade to Windows 11," Microsoft explained in a new entry to the Windows 11 Health Dashboard added the same day.
Impacted devices include those running Windows 11 21H2, Windows 10 21H2, and Windows 10 20H2. The issue has now been addressed, and Redmond said the fix would likely propagate to most affected users within the next 48 hours.
In January, Microsoft announced that it had started a forced rollout of Windows 11 22H2 to systems running Windows 11 21H2, approaching their end-of-support date on October 10, 2023.
