Is Windows 11 Real?
- Jun 24, 2021
So Windows 11 Is Now Confirmed By Microsoft And The ISO Was Actually Real, With Many New Features A New Generation Of Windows Is Starting With The Most Surprising Feature Of Bringing Android Apps To Windows
I Would Like To Thank All The People Who Commented On This Post And Made It Immensely Popular.....
Saranghae!!
But no update was found for windows 11 features
When I was searching what is the possible reasons for this problem I found that secure boot must be enabled and TPM version 2.0 must be installed
I done all these
But no update was found
After that I found that windows 11 require 8th generation or later to run
I that true
My pc has core i5 6th generation
8 GB RAM DDR4
Does that means my pc will not get windows 11 updates ??
Don't worry, it's normal that hardware restrictions are currently being put in place -
when tests show that Windows11 will work correctly on slightly older hardware then Microsoft will analyze such an approval - but now there are limitations

Deleted Microsoft has a list of processors (CPUs) that Windows 11 will support.
AMD: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors
Intel: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors
Looking at the list, anything Kaby Lake (Core ix 7th gen) and before would not work for Win11, so is anything AMD before Ryzen 2nd gen.
I have one desktop that's AMD A10, and Surface 3 (Atom x7); neither of them would run Win 11. My Thinkpad P52s will though.

Thank you for the documentation!
But if the tests confirm that computers with lower performance will work correctly in a Windows11 environment, then Microsoft will change this list - I assure you!- nexus_unicornJun 25, 2021Brass ContributorI certainly hope so.
I have one computer that has Skylake (6th gen) that runs Windows 10 well, and meets all the requirements of Windows 11 on paper. I imagine there are currently a ton of Skylake computers out there as well (such as Thinkpad T460/470 series). If they just arbitrarily draw the line at Coffee Lake and above, there would be ton of angry users.
