According to The Verge, Microsoft won't prohibit computers running processors on its "supported" list from installing Windows 11 - they just won't be able to do so through the official Windows update software. There is some good news for people running older hardware, though. The full list of supported processors can be found here. For the latter, Microsoft will only support "select devices that shipped with modern drivers based on Declarative, Componentized, Hardware Support Apps (DCH) design principles, including Surface Studio 2."Īfter working with AMD, Microsoft has declined to include the first generation of AMD Zen processors in its officially supported list. This means that you'll need a compatible 64-bit processor, 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage, as well as "UEFI secure boot, graphics requirements and TPM 2.0." For the most part, Microsoft is still requiring an 8th-generation or newer Intel processor, but the company is adding a few 7th-generation Intel options to the supported list, including Intel Core X-series, Xeon W-series and the Intel Core 7820HQ. After a few months of users testing and providing feedback, Microsoft says that, for the most part, its system requirements from June will stand - but there are a few notable changes. It quickly reversed course, saying that more people could install the software update than its requirements originally stated so the company could gather more performance on how the OS performed. TPM stands for Trusted Platform Module.When Microsoft released the Windows 11 Insider preview earlier this summer, it did so with some confusion around minimum system requirements. And that is why people are forced to dive deep into the BIOS settings of their PC to make changes. While most recent computers and laptops support TPM 2.0, the security module is not turned on by default. Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 to be enabled on the computer. The first reason has been one of the things causing the maximum problem.
Some common reasons why Windows 11 is not going to be available on a range of PCs include unsupported security, an old processor, and the unavailability of Secure Boot. And that is when Microsoft revamped the PC Health Check app. Microsoft was criticised for not giving clarity on what goes as requirements for Windows 11 to support a computer. This is a big relief to users who were twice as annoyed because, other than their incompatible PC, the PC Health Check app will give a vague pass or fail message after checking what Windows 11 will or will not support. The PC Health Check tool now gives different reasons as to why your computer will not run Windows 11.
