I suspect that a lot of people are mistaking OEM guidance for hardware requirements when it comes to #windows11
For instance, I highly doubt that Microsoft will refuse to let you install Windows 11 unless you have a specific web cam or something like that, it'd be a terrible business move on Microsoft's part, plus how would they even know that Windows is being installed on a machine of a certain size?
That and the source that people are getting this from even reads like a guide for OEMs
