This means that you'll need a compatible 64-bit processor, 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage, as well as "UEFI secure boot, graphics requirements and TPM 2.0." For the most part, Microsoft is still requiring an 8th-generation or newer Intel processor, but the company is adding a few 7th-generation Intel options to the supported list, including Intel Core X-series, Xeon W-series and the Intel Core 7820HQ.

It quickly reversed course, saying that more people could install the software update than its requirements originally stated so the company could gather more performance on how the OS performed. You can also view the detailed minimum requirements here.When Microsoft released the Windows 11 Insider preview earlier this summer, it did so with some confusion around minimum system requirements. If you still need to check if your device is eligible for the free Windows 11 upgrade, you can grab the PC Health Check app from here, but as previously mentioned, you will have to be signed into a Microsoft ID and be registered as a Windows Insider. Physical unsupported machines will continue to receive new builds and updates until October 5, after which they will be rolled back to Windows 10. Ahead of general availability on October 5, Microsoft has already begun blocking Virtual Machines without access to a TPM from updating Windows 11 builds. Microsoft later clarified that if people went ahead and installed Windows 11 on unsupported systems, they would be blocked from receiving updates.
Microsoft has attempted to clarify the minimum hardware specifications for Windows 11 a number of times since the announcement in June, the latest guidelines added some seventh-gen Intel CPUs at the end of August, but those were limited to mainly non consumer SKUs, namely:
When running the app, you can now get a detailed view of what is compliant or not.
