Blog.SSHKit.com — How to Remove “System Requirements Not Met” Watermark in Windows 11. Some of you may find the “System Requirements not met” watermark on your desktop when you finish installing Windows 11. This is because in build 22557 (Dev Channel), Microsoft added this watermark to indicate that your specifications do not meet the requirements to install Windows 11. However, if you want to remove or hide this watermark, you can follow the short tutorial below.
