A group of Windows 10 users have recently been upgraded to the unreleased Windows 11 22H2, even though their systems are not compliant with Windows 11 requirements. Microsoft aware and it’s working on a fix, but anyone who has already installed the upgrade will probably need to manually use the rollback feature.
The issue is with Insiders using the Release Preview Channel for Windows 10, which Neowin discovered based on several Reddit posts. Those affected were given the option to install a preview version of Windows 11 22H2 via the update screen in Windows 10. This was also possible on systems that were not at all suitable for Windows 11 due to hardware shortcomings. For this reason, some users thought that Microsoft had tightened the system requirements.
Users who have installed the upgrade to Windows 11 22H2 in the past few days should probably revert to Windows 10 manually. The operating system allows users to downgrade for 10 days without further consequences. This article explains how to do Hardware Info. After this time, the Windows 10 backup will be deleted and users will only be able to go back with a clean install of Windows 10.
