The new additions to the compatible CPU list include Intel Core X-series and Xeon W-series.
Now, though the company is sticking with the aforementioned requirements, it has added a few more Intel CPUs to its compatibility list after testing with Windows Insiders and OEMs. This caused a bit of a stir as CPUs older than late 2017 were not supported and to run Windows 11, users would have to upgrade their still fairly capable CPUs. These include a compatible 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, UEFI secure boot, certain graphics requirements, and TPM 2.0. It brings a visual overhaul to Windows platform along with several deeper changes.Īt the time of its unveiling, Microsoft announced there were a few key minimum requirements for running Windows 11. Microsoft announced Windows 11 in June and is currently testing the latest OS in beta. Through an official blog post, it announced that after Windows Insider testing and exploring options with OEMs, the minimum system requirements now include additional older Intel CPUs that will be compatible with Windows 11, though the other prerequisites still remain in place. Microsoft has updated its Windows 11 minimum system requirements to include more Intel CPUs.
