Windows 11 has a CPU support issue, which Microsoft is having trouble explaining to users.

Windows 11 has a number of new features. Nearly a week after introducing the latest version of its operating system, Microsoft has published the first Windows 11 Insider Preview build. It also wrote a separate blog on the same day, attempting to explain the Windows 11 minimum system requirements and dispel any lingering uncertainties. Microsoft's response, ironically, will just add to the misunderstanding among users. It also raises extra questions for people who are still attempting to find out which CPU generation will support the new OS.

Intel 6th Gen Skylake and older CPUs, as well as non-Zen AMD processors, will not support Windows 11. These CPUs do not support “principles regarding security and dependability, as well as basic system requirements for Windows 11,” according to the document.

” This is consistent with Microsoft's previous declaration that Windows 11 would require Intel 8th Gen Coffee Lake or Zen 2 processors.

However, we still don't know why Intel's 7th generation chips and AMD's Ryzen 1000 processors aren't being supported, despite the fact that they can provide the essential system security.

The Trusted Platform was the second contentious item on the list of requirements. Module 2.0 (TPM). This is a hardware chip that is built into CPUs and motherboards for those who are unfamiliar. It is thought to give further ransomware protection and secure drives on a system.

• WINDOWS 11 LAUNCH - RELEASE DATE, FEATURES AND PRICE.

  

Note :

• Microsoft announced Windows 11 last week.
• Many modern computers are incompatible with Windows 11.
• Microsoft's messaging around Windows 11 compatibility is a mess.
• This is a hardware chip that is built into CPUs and motherboards 

Users were not pleased with Microsoft's decision to make these two system requirements essential for Windows 11. Some freshly purchased laptops and computers were even ruled ineligible for the Windows 11 update due to the criteria. Many of these users have aired their dissatisfaction on social media.

One thing is certain: Microsoft's messaging surrounding the release of Windows 11 has been a complete disaster. When a system was ineligible for the Windows 11 upgrade, even the PC Health Check programmer failed to provide adequate explanations to customers. After being updated, buyers discovered that some of their freshly acquired PCs would not receive the Windows 11 update. It was also accused of misclassifying devices as incompatible with the operating system.

With the first Inside build of Windows 11, which is available starting today, customers have been given a glimpse of optimism, as it does not require TPM 2.0 or certain CPUs. Microsoft has stated that it will pay closer attention to customers of Intel 7th Gen and AMD Zen 1 CPUs to check if they are receiving the performance and security they expect.

“While we prefer that all PCs fulfil all of Windows 11's hardware requirements, we are permitting some limited exceptions as we implement these new limits. All Windows Insiders who have been installing Dev Channel builds on their PCs up until June 24, 2021 will be able to continue installing Windows 11 Insider Preview builds even if their computer doesn't fulfil the minimal hardware requirements,” according to the blog post.

Microsoft has also issued a warning to these users, stating that they may encounter issues and bugs with Windows 11 on these PCs that will not be resolved.

Microsoft claims that most PCs sold in the last 18 to 24 months will be compatible with the current system requirements, however this may not be the case. The CPUs introduced in 2017 and 2018 were only released in late 2019 and 2020 for low-cost laptops. This means that many people who bought their machines two to three years ago may not be able to upgrade to Windows 11 if the system requirements do not change.
