Can they still be considered "minimum requirements" if they are easily circumvented?

    In case you didn’t know, your Windows license allows you to contact Microsoft directly for support if you are having issues. (Just be sure its an actual Windows issue and not a software/hardware issue)

    This will effectively end that support for your device.

        Additional payments depend on which license you are using.
