Windows 11 for 7th generation Intel
H i schrodinbug
Yes, after installing Windows11 - diagnostic data was automatically transmitted in the Insider Program, this allowed to evaluate and exclude incompatible processors (based on confirmed errors!) But also product development, requirements of programmers and partners (more demanding applications)

well we all get that part. im using windows 11 on i5 7500 7th gen and its a blast. meaning it smooth like butter.
- 嗨，你好！
我刚刚进入此社区，看到了您的回复，现在，网络上有许多方法可以升级至Windows 11，既然Micosoft选择了第七代intel作为分界，那么就有一定的道理，他们也许不希望那些不支持的用户去强制升级至Windows 11，毕竟这是一个全新的系统"Hi there!
I just entered this community and saw your reply, now, there are many ways to upgrade to Windows 11 on the network, and since Microsoft has chosen the seventh generation of Intel as the demarcation, there is a certain reason that they may not want users who do not support it to force upgrade to Windows 11, after all, this is a completely new system"Yes, of course, but there is information in advance, all IT companies force such changes to design a new computer and more secure applications, running faster and faster!
While the hunt for a faster more efficient OS is always at the forefront of Microsoft, the reasoning that 7th gen will have decisive failures is a farce, it is the same principle that apple used to force older devices to be replaced they dropped support using hilarious and simply untrue excuses. The minimum requirements for windows 11 is: a 2 core or more 1Ghz processor, TPM 2.0 enabled, 4GB ram and a 64gb storage drive. so any processor equivalent or greater than this should have no issues, provided there is nothing in the OS to explicitly break should a processor on the bad list embedded into the software be found.
So why do they do this? to force the upgrade and purchase of components long before they are out of usability. total joke that apple was sued for doing something very similar with slowing the device when a battery degraded. they were sued in the UK for 768m, Arizona for 113m and California for 500m. disappointing to hear MS are creating the same but different tactic to squeeze more money from consumers. poor show and karma always finds you 😄
Hi luis908
Does this mean that computers in the organization can also be upgraded to Windows11 without system requirements?
Do you think other users should be encouraged to do so?- Well Heres the catch. since 7th and below are not supported. its all on our risk if you want to make the jump. meaning don't bother reporting any issues with Microsoft because they clearly going to tell you well your cpu isn't supported and i totally agree with them. any issues we encounter if any its our risk. I'm not saying going ahead and install windows 11. if you choose too go ahead. I DONT ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO INSTALL WINDOWS 11 ON THEIR UNSUPPORTED DEVICE IF THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THEY DOING.
- your talking nonsense, and likely why you feel the need to shout in capital letters.
As the owner of Microsoft (danish shareholder) pls understand..try to go down to your local Microsoft center and purchase the most expensive high-end touch flagship Microsoft can manage in 2022.. fx the 6 grand Surface Studio 2 and then realize two months later that the big touch optimized OS (and what windows11 is) don't work on Microsoft own touch 2022 flagship.
The MS backland can also see how weird that is, and you cant threat your customers like this.. so now Microosft is saying.. okay we will open for some gen7 CPU's that will be officially supported... not least Surface studio 2 CPUs that still only have 7gen.
It ain't pretty how we/microsoft are coming across with windows11..
sure you can install windows11 on older units. but the way Microsoft has been dealing with this issue has been far from ideal,.
MS should have been way more transparent and open about older CPUs, and not this unsympathetic gatekeeper moral that elevate confusions and anger..
