What Generation Processor is Required for Windows 11? Vincanwo Group Offerings

• Intel: 8th Generation Core processors and newer (Core i3/i5/i7/i9-8xxx models and up), as well as specific Celeron, Pentium, and Xeon chips.

• AMD: Ryzen 2000 series (Zen+) and newer, including Ryzen 3, 5, 7, and 9 models, EPYC 7xxx series, and some Athlon processors.

• Qualcomm: Snapdragon 850, 8c, 8cx, 7c, and Microsoft SQ1/SQ2 models.

Latest Version (24H2) Requirements

• Intel: 11th Generation Core processors and newer.

• AMD: 3rd Generation Ryzen processors and newer.

CPU Requirements and Business Impact

As of the latest update for Windows 11 24H2, only 11th-generation Intel Core processors and newer are officially supported. This change means that older Intel processors, such as 8th, 9th, and 10th-generation models, are no longer supported for the latest version of Windows 11.

Can a 6th gen CPU run Windows 11?

Now, as Microsoft states that Windows 11 will be needing a supported CPU (they lowered it from 8th gen to 7th gen CPU), TPM 2.0 and a UEFI bios. If you don't have those two requirements (TPM 2.0 and UEFI BIOS), most likely Windows 11 cannot be installed onto your system.

To confirm if your specific system is compatible, you can use the official Microsoft PC Health Check application.
