windows 11 support for 7th gen intel cpu
I am having a pc with 7th gen processor with tpm 2.0 and UEFI and secure boot enabled 8gb of ram. but i am getting a error message that your pc doesn't meet minimum hardware requirement for windows 1...
Hi there, you are welcome to the Microsoft Tech Community!
Microsoft has not supported intel gen 7 processors and AMD processors from 2017 yet but they are looking into it and most probably these processors will be supported till Windows 11 releases to the public.
- i would like to move to another operating system like linux and other @microsoftwindows is not doing anything new for those who purchased it just 3 years ago hate microsoft.
- Hoy que vi la lista de procesadores compatibles vi que el Celeron N6211 era compatible y es un procesador del 2015 en cambio procesadores como el intel core i5 7200u que es de 2016 nisiquiera aparece en la lista osea plop! Que paso microsoft? Antes eras bueno.......
- A mi me parece una falta de respeto con los usuarios que no admitan procesadores de séptima generación de gama baja pero que cumplen con los demás requisitos y es que para que ponen que admiten procesadores de 1ghz y mínimo 2gb de ram, cuando hoy en día nadie por muy pobre que sea tiene tan poco cuando hay equipos que modestos con requisitos altos y es más dicen que procesadores de más de 5 años el mio apenas tiene 2 años y no es compatible, la verdad no se a que están jugando, pero me parece que es el típico juego de la gallinita ciega, restringir mucho y al final caer en picada como paso con windows vista, windows 7.....y sigue.... Al final cuando saquen windows 11.1 bajaran los requisitos....
- will windows 11 support 7th other than Intel® Core™ X-series, Xeon® W-series
Intel® Core™ 7820HQ these cpus or not Hello There,
Iam using 7th Gen Laptop with inbuild windows and SSD. My laptop is performing very well, i am not in a condition to replace my laptop only for windows 11 all the required elements are ready except processor version. It would be better to ensure us to Provide windows 11 as OTA update.
- i mean will 7th gen support or not
- they are looking into some gen 7 cpu's that may be included but at the moment only 8th gen and equivalent amd cpu's will be supported.
- I have an iPhone and think Apple is doing a good job and I would also like to try a MacBook or Linux system. But that's why I'm sticking to Windows, because it's still indispensable for me. I have exactly the same problem as my laptop also meets all requirements, except for the CPU generation. In addition, Apple is no better than Microsoft in this regard, although it supports devices longer, Apple no longer offers all functions on older devices (for example, a few functions on macOS 12 require the M1 processor from Apple), which is no better. Microsoft does not make any functional differences between the processor generations. Yes, I don't have a MacBook, but I found out about MacOS 11 and 12 and I like the function and design and that's why I also like the design of Windows 11, as it makes Windows a bit more similar to MacOS in terms of design. Both systems are good and both (at Microsoft for the first time in years, Apple does it more often) now and then make a radical cut in the requirements, which is not bad, just annoying. Exactly for the reason I understand why Microsoft makes TPM 2.0, UEFI and Secure Boot mandatory, but not why they don't support the 7th generation of Intel processors if you meet all the other requirements, I don't want to and can't understand.
- Means they will support or not
