If your computer doesn’t fully meet the system requirements of Windows 11 you may see a watermark “System Requirements Not Met” on your PC. This can get in your way and be quite distracting. However, there is a way to remove this watermark. It’s pretty easy and quick to do.

What you need to do to remove the ‘System Requirements Not Met’ in Windows 11

When it comes to operating systems for your computer, there isn’t much choice. In today’s computers, there are three main operating systems: macOS, Windows, and Linux. And if Linux is suitable for professionals in a very narrow direction. This system is put on the computers of different programmers or workers who need full and easy control over your computer.

MacOS and Windows are the most popular user systems. macOS is used on computers manufactured by Apple: Macs and MacBooks. The vast majority of all other computers use Windows.

Recently a new version of Windows has been released – Windows 11. It’s the successor of Windows 10. Many users are already actively migrating to the new operating system. It has a lot of advantages. Starting from a redesigned and more modern design to different software improvements that weren’t previously available in Windows 10.

It’s a really good and powerful system for your PC. And with the new features you get, Windows 11 is still fully compatible with the software you get with Windows 10 which means that you can upgrade to a new system and keep all your programs and data.
