Windows 11 hardware requirements: How to tell if your device is compatible

How do you run a pc without the right requirements I’ve just built my pc and it just tells me my pc doesn’t meet windows requirements

When my machine won't work anymore with Microsoft, I wipe the drive and load Linux. Thanks.

my pc Has all requirement but not installed

Disable TPM 2.0, and your computer will never be compatible

Kinda upsetting you didn’t notify people there was a way to install it easily while bypassing the fake requirements. It’s super easy to install windows 11 on “unsupported” computers. All you have to do is make your USB drive with Rufus instead of the media creation tool. The requirements are fake and windows 11 will run on anything windows 10 will run on.

Talking WAY too fast. I keep replaying clips over and over and still don't know what she's saying.

For Windows 11 I think 16gb of ram is what needed. If your PC don't have a nvme with with 4gb of ram it would run really slow.

The most affected are people who bought expensive high-end hardware from 2016/2017. Windows 10 security support ends in oct 2025. So all my 3 PCs from 2016 (i5-6400) and 2017 (i5-7600K, i5-7500) will become officially useless and unsellable. That's so stupid!!!! The only official solution I know is to install another OS for example Chrome OS Flex or Linux on it... But those OS maybe not great for the expensive graphic cards inside. I am the most angry about the depreciation (huge lost of €-value) of the harware because of the future minimum requirements.

it says the processor isn't currently supported for windows 11 and it's intel core i7-7700HQ 2.8GHz so why is that?

I really appreciate the video, I would love to see you explained on it by touching on what laptop you can recommended in a Top 5-10 (each 5) of older compatible laptops in addition to newer laptops you build in?

Because of the system requirements for Win 11 I most likely will be switching from using Windows as my everyday OS. I think that Microsoft is a disgrace of a company to me. They are not only disrespectful but a complete failure of a company. Microsoft thanks but no thanks I will just pass on using Windows 11.

i just used a registry tweak to fix my tpm and bios’ incompatibility with windows 11, so i’m basically sitting in a corner and eating popcorn as i watch people complain about the hardware requirements

least interested to download windows 11 , windows 10 is just great . plus i dont wanna clog my memory .

Just wait. Right before the official release there will be fire sale on new computers at ridiculously low prices. Computers that can't run Windows 11. User are going to buy those computers only to find out that Win11 won't run on their new computers. Sellers are going to state after the sale, "we never said it would." It is going to be a real mess trying to figure out which computers will and which won't unless there is some certification statement. I have three computers running Windows 10. One I built in 2010 is the oldest. Using the WhyNotWin11 app, which explains exactly Why Not, only one computer out of the three is Windows 11 compatible.

If I am going to buy a new computer I want a certificate that states it will run Windows 11 from the seller. I have an interest in a new micro PC, however, it has the 7th Gen i5 7200U processor. Before I buy I want to know I can upgrade it to Windows 11.

Me running Windows 11 in 1 gb ram

Are they still requiring Gen 8 or higher processors? Last they said, my 2 year old gen 7 wouldn't be compatible. If they want to make my 2 year old computer unsupported for no reason other than being gen 7, then it'll be the last Windows computer I ever purchase. I've been a user since Win 3.1, but I spent to much on this computer the get thrown under the bus so quickly.

Elizabeth Holmes is that you doing the voice over?

I have got a HP ENVY 13:

- Intel Core i5-6200U @2.3 ghz, Turbo 2.4 ghz (dual core processor)
- 8GB RAM
- 256GB SSD
- Windows 10 HOME (64 bit), x64 compatible
- 13.3" OLED (3200 x 1800) (1800p)
- Direct X 12

Security:
Secure-Boot enabled
TPM: 2.0
WDDM: 2.1

Still I won't be able to get a Windows 11 upgrade because my computer is 6th gen whereas a $200 HP laptop with a Celeron processor will get one. Nonsense!

why is ur voice is like ur about to cry?

I am using windows 11 pro now and it's September 12th 2021.

They mentioned performance, but did not require that the C drive is a solid state. We know the 100% disk usage windows have. I doubt they solved it. And I'm confused why they did not mention the intel gen which should should be i8+. Did they change their minds?

Guess I'll stay on 10 forever then

Stupid that my Surface Pro isn't supported.

How about screw you Microsoft and just not update to 11.

No shade and all, but your voice reminds me of Elizabeth Holmes. Great vid, by the way.

That's a nice mic.

I don't care anymore I'm going for apple macbook phone I mean basically everything thing apple. Windows socks alot we need something more modern and easy to use

Bleep Microsoft

Thanks to these new requirements, there will be a huge movement of users switching to Linux.

I have a Dell purchased new in 2015 with Windows 8 that I updated to Windows 10 when it was a free update. There's nothing in Windows 11 that I really need and I'll wait to see if Windows Update even offers Windows 11 to me before I bother updating the computer.

Be nice if they fixed permissions, usb and networking

How to tell if your device is compatible - just don't and go for Linux

it wont matter,modders have already made a windows 11 package with tpm.2.0 bypassed,im running it now on my system that would not let me install the windows 11 that i downloaded

so basically cnet is making a mountain out of a mole

I do not need windows 11. Nobody needs windows 11.

Use Linux instead 👌🏼

Got it working on an old Surface Pro 5.

For 25 years I am using windows second os Linux I've never cared about I'll get windows 11 when it really matters so far the best windows has been windows 10 I don't see why anyone would switch for fun and experiment yeah. I've always done it on test bench. Oh yeah I've never bought a windows and if you are the one who buys you are not true windows fan lol.

You will receive updates if you install this on a non supported system when you do a clean install. Lame video…..

Can I still get windows XP ?

I don't have TPM chip, yet Windows 11 is installed in my PC.

Surface book 2 15" i7 will get upgrade but 15" i5 wont get it 😒 why

I suspect most machines will not be compatible. One report I saw suggests that 96% of all PCs are not eligible. That's about one billion machines give or take.

I have two machines that have TPM 2.0 on the processors, but the BIOS has no control to activate it! Those machines are eliminated.

None of the 11 machines I have at home qualify. The 400 machines we just bought a couple of months ago also do not qualify. SO I am going to ignore windows 11. I retire in 9 years and can keep the machines at work running until then

Excellent, concise information, to make an informed, workable solution. AMF

Just make the switch to macOS.

Let’s just say if you can’t upgrade you live under a rock 😂

Guess I’m lucky, I have a Dell laptop that I bought 3-4 years ago from Amazon and spent around $350 on it, and running the W11 beta surprisingly smoothly!

Linux next
