To determine whether your CPU can upgrade to Windows 11 24H2, simply check compatibility by focusing on the newly added SSE4.2 instruction set requirement.
How to Verify Windows 11 24H2 CPU Support
Download and install the PC Health Check application. Upon launch, click “Check now” to immediately verify compliance.
Next, press Win+R, enter msinfo32, and review three key details:
- Processor (check generation)
- TPM Version (must be 2.0)
- Secure Boot State (must be On)
CPUs lacking SSE4.2 instruction set support cannot install Windows 11 24H2. Affected systems must remain on older Windows 11 versions with no alternative solutions. Presently, most computers running Windows 11 natively support this instruction set.
