The system requirements for Windows Server vNext have not changed, so you will be able to upgrade all of your existing Windows Servers to the next release to stay current and secure. We have raised the bar for OEM's to get a logo for new hardware. So everything you have today will work, and new hardware you purchase tomorrow will have new requirements for the vendors. Thanks!

great to learn there aren't CPU restrictions and vTPM doesn't become a requirement for VMs. What could be improved is a more strict course on GPT / UEFI imho, which is still not a requirement, but makes sense for VBS on Hyper-V / Azure Stack HCI and VMware.
