I wouldn't rely 100% on MS requirements. They don't have everything down. My CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 1800X) is running Windows 11 perfectly, but it's not on MS Windows 11 supportive CPU. That's the only thing that is keeping my PC from passing Windows 11, BUT yet i'm running it just fine. So, there is still a lot to be worked out. This is ONLY the 1st insider preview. There is a lot more to come over the next several months

I see.
While we recommend that all PCs meet the full hardware requirements for Windows 11, we are allowing some limited exceptions
as we apply these new restrictions.
All Windows Insiders who have already been installing builds from the Dev Channel on their PCs up through June 24, 2021
will be allowed to continue installing Windows 11 Insider Preview builds even if their PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements.
Insiders with PCs already in the Dev Channel have been installing and giving feedback on builds with Windows 11 features since last year.
Our way of saying thanks is to go ahead and give them the opportunity to see everything come together.
However, this comes with some important tradeoffs we want to call attention to:
Because these devices do not meet the new hardware requirements, there may be issues and bugs that impact the experience of
Windows 11 on these PCs that may not get fixed.
If at any point something goes wrong on one of these PCs that requires having to go back to Windows 10, you can use the
media creation tool here to go back to the Windows 10.
These PCs will not be given another exception and not allowed to upgrade to Windows 11 Insider Preview builds again.
They will be treated as a new PC and the minimum hardware requirements will be enforced as highlighted above.
Once Windows 11 is generally available, these PCs will be opted out of flighting and will not be able to receive future
Windows 11 Insider Preview builds.
These PCs must clean install back to Windows 10 with the media (ISOs) that we provide and can then join the Release Preview
Channel to preview Windows 10 updates.

If I'm not mistaken MS relaxed the requirements to install the Dev build of Windows 11 so they could get more data about Windows 11. The real question should be will my computer be able to run the release build of Windows 11.
Correct.

I do hope that everyone who has a device that is not on the MS approved list understands that in the near future their devices may stop working on Windows 11.Correct. :)
Preparing for Insider Preview Builds of Windows 11
Today, we unveiled Windows 11 to the world, and we know Windows Insiders are super excited to get their hands on it! As Panos mentions here, we plan to release the first Insider Preview build for Windows 11 next week. However ahead of that release – we wanted to let Insiders know of a few...
Stop working? Possible.
