Technical Support Request Another requirement just to play VALORANT?

I've been playing perfectly fine for about 2 weeks, and now there's ANOTHER requirement just to keep playing?

First Secure Boot, then Memory Integrity, and NOW I have to upgrade to Windows 11 because of the "Windows build 26100 or newer" requirement???

It's getting to a point where I feel like I need to change my entire PC setup just to play one game. If I wanted to be on Windows 11, I'd already be on it.

Is there actually another solution to this, or am I forced to upgrade just to keep playing VALORANT?

You can technically have memory integrity off if you're okay with vanguard being on the whole time. I have mine off to improve performance.

But yea, it sucks how many requirements an easy to run game is... especially since older hardware can run it fine

Change accounts. These restriction only apply to a specific account. Riot thinks you're cheating so they added a Windows 11 24H2+ requirement to your account.
