It supported a ton of devices at launch, including many that were sold in the Windows XP era. But Microsoft says that Windows 11 won\u2019t work on many existing PCs, as it requires relatively-new 8th gen Intel Core processors (or AMD equivalents). Now, it seems that this CPU requirement could change after Insider testing.<\/p>\n<p>The Windows 11 hardware requirements are still in flux, likely due to the negative backlash that followed the release of Microsoft\u2019s Windows 11 Compatibility Checker. A recent announcement from the company <em>kind of<\/em> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windows-insider\/2021\/06\/28\/update-on-windows-11-minimum-system-requirements\/\">clarifies the Windows 11 requirements<\/a>, but also states that requirements are subject to change with testing.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll list the \u201cclarifications\u201d below. Keep in mind that the current Windows 11 Insider build doesn\u2019t enforce TPM or CPU requirements for those who are in the Dev program.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the gist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>CPUs:<\/strong> Minimum Intel 8th gen, AMD Zen 2, or Qualcomm 7 and 8 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Series<\/a>. Microsoft might lower the bar and accept Intel 7th gen or AMD Zen 1 processors after Insider testing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hardware:<\/strong> At minimum, Windows 11 needs a 1GH 2-core processor, 4GB memory, and 64GB of storage. These h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en to be the minimum system specs for Office and Microsoft Teams, too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>TPM:<\/strong> To meet Microsoft\u2019s security principals, \u201call Windows 11 supported CPUs have an embedded TPM, support secure boot, and support VBS and specific <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/virtualization\/virtualization-based-security-enabled-by-default\/ba-p\/890167\">VBS capabilities<\/a>.\u201d It still isn\u2019t clear if Microsoft is still referring to TPM 2.0, as the company keeps flip-flopping between it and TPM 1.5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Microsoft also says that it\u2019s temporarily taking down the inaccurate Windows 11 Compatibility Checker. A new <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/windows-11-specifications\">system requirements page<\/a> is taking its place for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>We assume that this requirements page will change over time. Confusingly, the page lists TPM 2.0 as a requirement for Windows 11, though Microsoft\u2019s \u201cclarifying\u201d blog post doesn\u2019t specify what sort of TPM module the company wants.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, we\u2019ll just have to hope that Microsoft\u2019s testing goes well. Wide compatibility with older systems was one of Windows 10\u2019s greatest strengths, and to see it disappear with Windows 11 is a bit of a bummer.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windows-insider\/2021\/06\/28\/update-on-windows-11-minimum-system-requirements\/\">Microsoft<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
