ATTENTION DEVS_WINDOWS 11 NOT COMPATIBLE WITH AMD RADEON A4-9125 R3 CPU
amd radeon a4-9125 r3 only thing stopping os update
its come to my knowledge that windows 10 will no longer be supported october 2025 thats next year!
meanwhile we have laptops out there that are still good by todays standards mine is a hp with 8gb ram but has the AMD RADEON A4-9125 CPU - this cpu can not be swapped as there stuck to the MOBO
what im trying to say is october next year all computers with this chipset will become obsolete because of this one issue that dont seem fair us with this specific cpu will be left behind
can microsoft developers please consider a compatibility update for windows 11 to allow us to update to the os while using the amd radeon a4-9125 cpu
theres not much info online other than professionals saying it dont work nobody finding a fix
ive found well over 60+ others with the same issue in 5mins of google searching
PLEASE MICROSOFT FIX THIS ISSUE THE COMMUNITY WILL BE GRATEFUL AS WILL I
MAYBE EVEN ONE OF YOUR INDEPENDENT DEVS COULD DO IT
THANKS_JORDAN.
so windows insider updates or public updates dont work
what should i do

The **AMD Radeon A4-9125** CPU, with its **4 compute cores (2C+2G)**, is indeed a part of some older laptops. Let's delve into the details:
1. **Performance and Compatibility**:
- The A4-9125 is a **fairly old CPU** that is **no longer competitive** with newer processors.
- It contains **2 cores and 2 threads**, which may not perform well with **recent games** or demanding applications.
- Compatibility with Windows 11 is a concern, as it's not officially supported for this CPU¹.
- If you're considering upgrading to Windows 11, you'll need to check the **system requirements** for compatibility.2. **CPU Specifications**:
- **Clockspeed**: 2.3 GHz (turbo speed up to 2.6 GHz)
- **Cores**: 2 (in 2 physical modules)
- **TDP**: 15 W
- **Cache**:
- L1 Instruction Cache: 2 x 32 KB
- L1 Data Cache: 2 x 96 KB
- L2 Cache: 2 x 1024 KB
- **Integrated GPU**: AMD Radeon R3 (Beema) with a base GPU frequency of 350 MHz3. **Upgrade Options**:
- Unfortunately, the **processor is soldered to the motherboard**, making it **non-upgradable** without replacing the entire motherboard.
- If you're looking for better performance, consider investing in a new laptop with a more capable CPU.4. **Windows 11 Compatibility**:
- While Windows 11 may not officially support the A4-9125, you can still try using the **PC Health Check app** to verify compatibility¹.
- Keep in mind that unsupported configurations may lead to issues with updates and performance.5. **Recommendation**:
- If you're determined to use Windows 11, consider upgrading to a laptop with a more modern CPU.
- Check if your current laptop meets other Windows 11 requirements, such as RAM and storage capacity.In summary, while your laptop with the A4-9125 is still functional, it may not be suitable for Windows 11. Exploring new laptops with better CPUs could be a worthwhile upgrade⁸. :desktop_computer:️:light_bulb:

- If you try to run unsupported win 11 you are going to need at least 32 GB RAM. You may also run into issues with Updates and Performance.

appreciate your guys help 🙂
As far as I know, this is a processor( NOT )compatible with the public version of Windows 11
For the Insider version, it may not be compatible
It's best to check it in the following way:
