How much longer until Microsoft gets SERIOUS and adds 'recent' CPU's to the approved list (2400G eg)
Trying to look at bringing all of my PC's onto W11 over the next year or so as I prove the software I need is all ready to use and stable. One of my four fairly modern systems it turns out is an ...
Hi, beanflying
This is my private opinion, but no additional older generation processors have been added for 2 years so -> should be concluded that Microsoft ended this topic definitively!

So rolling over and letting Microsoft stroke your belly is an answer how?
If I was an IT manager of a medium to large company I would be pushing the company to add their voices to this and not let it slide. The MAJORITY of larger companies I have worked for over time ran more like closer to 10 year old workstations in their general office fleet and at least 3-5+ year old in their Engineering departments. This Reality seems lost on MS.
All that using rubbish workarounds and registry hacks has shown is that plenty of older CPU's in particular cope fine with W11 but the lazy out for Microsoft is we are bigger than you so to bad you will need to suck it up for 'reasons'. This is again not an IT department solution and while it might work for a private individual is never going to be done in Industry.
and if you think I am being a bit combative then yep I likely am.
I understand, but I have seen a lot of discussion about this, but the position is unequivocal (no one will change the architecture of processors that are not compatible with Win11)
By October 2025, everything will certainly be clarified in this matter - > perhaps additional conditional security will allow in some cases to upgrade to Windows11 🙂
Best regards.
