In June, Microsoft announced the new system Win 11, but the minimum system requirements standard can probably be understood to support the latest processors of Intel’s eighth generation or above, while AMD supports the latest processors of Zen2 or above, but today Microsoft updated The minimum system requirements actually support multiple models of Intel’s seventh-generation processors.

From the updated list, the specific models of Microsoft’s newly added processors are as follows. In fact, most of them are mid-to-high-end processors of the year, including:
Intel Core i5-7640X
Intel Core i7-7740X
Intel Core i7-7800X
Intel Core i7-7820HQ
Intel Core i7-7820X
Intel Core i7-7900X
Intel Core i7-7920X
Intel Core i9-7940X
Intel Core i9-7960X
Intel Core i9-7980XE
In addition, Microsoft said it will add more Intel Xeon W series processors soon. This time, the AMD support list has not been updated. In fact, Microsoft and AMD carefully studied and tested the first generation of AMD Zen processors, but in the end they still failed. This means that the old model will not be added to the list of CPUs supported by AMD, which is a pity.

Of course, the reason for the lack of support is that the new system is relatively strict. Microsoft has emphasized that data shows that PCs that do not meet the minimum system requirements cannot run the operating system reliably. The crash rate in kernel mode is 52% higher, which meets the minimum system requirements. Ask for a better experience.

If you are not sure whether your device supports Win 11, you can use the PC Health Check tool provided by Microsoft to check. In addition, it is reported that Microsoft will launch the official version of Win 11 in September. The new system has more new functions and features, which is worth looking forward to.
