Microsoft watermarks PCs that do not support Windows 11
-
Microsoft has started to display a watermark on computers with Windows 11 that do not meet the minimum requirements, encouraging users to upgrade their PC or revert to a previous version of Windows. The watermark can be hidden by modifying the registry.

It's a way to know if a PC with W11 is using secure boot and so on, after Microsoft has changed its mind and is putting W11 on all computers regardless of its initial requirements.
In principle it's a good idea, but since it can be overridden it stays in the category of a sticking plaster.
