A couple of days ago, Microsoft officially announced the latest version of Windows, Windows 11. Alongside its announcement, Microsoft also shared a list of CPUs that will support this operating system. These CPU requirements were a bit high and some people thought that these requirements were only for OEM systems. However, Microsoft has now officially confirmed these CPU requirements.
According to the list of supported CPUs, PC gamers will at least need an 8th generation Intel Core or a 2nd generation AMD Ryzen CPU. If you own an AMD Ryzen 1XXX CPU, you won’t be able to install Win11. Similarly, if you own an Intel i7 7700K you won’t be able to install it. We also won’t able to install it on our older PC system which has an Intel i7 4930K, even though that CPU can run all modern-day games.
What this ultimately means is that the number of gamers that will transition to Windows 11 will be limited. Given the fact that DirectStorage will also be available exclusively on Windows 11, we can safely assume that its adoption rate won’t be high. With the exception of specific first-party studios, I don’t see any third-party team abandoning all those PC gamers.
Again, there are currently a lot of PC gamers using older Intel i7 CPU models. Hell, there are even numerous gamers that rock Ryzen systems. And yes, those CPUs are more than enough to run most PC games and Windows. Yet despite that, Microsoft is basically forcing PC users to upgrade their systems so they can install Windows 11.
Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 in 2025. And if I were to guess, I’d say that most triple-A studios will support both Windows 10 and Windows 11 until then. So yeah, don’t expect a lot of games to properly take advantage of DirectStorage until then.

Microsoft and arbitrary restrictions on their operating systems? Must be a day that ends in “ay”
So by “Ryzen 2” I assume you mean Zen+, aka. 2nd Gen Ryzen? I’m seeing Zen+ CPU’s and APU’s in the list of supported processors at least (2600, 2700, 3500U, 3400G, etc).
yeah, I meant 2nd generation AMD Ryzen CPUs, I’ve updated the article to reflect that.
FYI: There was a variant of the Ryzen 5 1600 that was redesigned after the launch of Zen+ to use Zen+ cores. The community refers to it as the 1600 AF, and I would believe that’s because the serial numbers end in “AF”, however aside from that there’s no other way to visually differentiate these CPU’s from their 1st Gen Zen counterparts (the model number/packaging/etc. is apparently identical to the original 1600).
I think you are misreading that a bit. That MS article is in /design/ section, which means that’s for OEM to know what components to use to be win11 certified. That’s not minimum cpu req for existing systems.
It does appear to be the minimum requirements like the article says. I ran the PC Health Check app you download from MS’s Windows 11 page and it says my i7-6700K is not supported. How an i7 quad-core hyperthreading 4 GHz CPU isn’t supported is lame as it gets.
Actually, if you look at the minimum requirement section of the Windows 11 page, it takes you to a link that’s under the “design” section which has more links for AMD and Intel, again under the design section. So yeah these are indeed the requirements.
Is it not supported because of the cpu or because of tpm like many people seem to encounter?
The same thing happen with windows10, but some months after the launch it worked with a lot of older CPU.
“How an i7 quad-core hyperthreading 4 GHz CPU isn’t supported is lame”
That CPU should be supported by Windows 11.
Of course except new games designed for next-gen consoles. Modern consoles use 8 core / 16 threads and that CPU should be used as hardware minimum for future games like Starfield. With 16 thread CPU used as hardware minimum games can have better AI, better physics and more complex gameplay. Nobody want future games to be limited by old 4 core CPU
While I don’t appreciate the gay bashing, I completely support the rage.
It wouldn’t be original if he didn’t include that
I agree with him as well same with his comment on Microsoft and TPM
gay bashing is natural.
Someone is buthurt.
Show me a single PC game that looks as good as Ratchet and Clank and Demon Souls or that new Spiderman with RTX, that runs on PC with comparable hardware.
These games look amazing on PS5 and Ratchet and spiderman utilize ray tracing
because for low end CPU you’ll get this error just like cyperpunk 2077 devs convince to gamer about PS4

Have just installed in a Dell i3-4005U + 4GB ram + 128GB Sata SSD and it’s running quite well.
I’m actually impressed by its smooth performance. Might as well put this OS on my main PC.
Microsoft are losing it
Why? Direct Storage is biggest new feature in last 10 years. Direct access from GPU to SSD give developers unlimited virtual video memory. New feture is supported by Nvidia (RTX IO), RDNA2 on PC and Xbox.

Its one of the major ones, shame we wont see the fruit of it in years due to backwards compatibility with sluggish hdd’s… ie dev’s will still use archive/packaged approach untill the mainstream bar is raised high enough or their games will benefit greatly beside a few secounds of loadtime
MS internal studios will use full power of Direct Storage in next gen games like Forza Motorsport, Fable, Starfield. MS will push own studios to create Xbox Series and Windows 11 exclusive games
By making it exclusive to windows 11 the adoption rate will be low so devs wont bother with it for a while.
Nah, AAA studios will adopt it.
You dont get it, want it or not, windows 11 is THE future, PERIOD.
Like when windows 10 came out and all those haters came out, but eventually everyone that needed DX12 moved up to win10.
In any case, paupers need to upgrade their computers, 10400 is DIRT cheap and you get 6/12 CPU, much better then any old 4C/8T trash.
All those Windows 10 haters was reason why so many developers was forced to use DX11 instead of DX12. Those people just hate MS and whole Windows PC as a platform
Microsoft actually made fast DX12 games, i played Gears remake, Gears 4 and gears 5 on PC.
But that game, whats its name Quantum Break, i was foolish to buy it full price on windows store, only to re-buy it again on Steam because DX11 version was faster.
Quantum Break is the MOST unoptimized game EVER
I always get the top GPU, 3090>2080TI>1080TI>980TI
When QB came out i think it was 1080TI, and it couldn’t run in 4K/60 without using that upscaling mode
Then 2080TI came out i was like, OK lets try again, NO, even 2080TI is not fast enough to do 4K/60 Ultra
Only 3090 can run this game 4K/60
you’re gonna need 8c/16t
It says all gen 8th and gen 9th so 6 cores will do fine
me personally, i have 3 PC’s m y gaming is 5950x, my backup is 1090K and my NAS it has 10400F and works fine, zero issues and very fast, I even set it to economy mode in the bios since its just for HDD’s
for games. in the future once this current gen get’s off the ground. the new consoles both have 8c/16t zen2, if you don’t think that eventually that the devs aren’t going to use all the processing power available to them, then i don’t know what else to tell you.
All MS internal studios will use all new features of DirectX. Games designed only for next-gen Xbox Series X such as Starfield, new Forza Motorsport, Hellblade, Fable, Redfall will use Velocity Architecture – Direct Storage + Sampler Feedback. This give those games unlimited virtual video memory
All those games designed only for Xbox Series consoles MS will release as exclusive to Windows 11. This will allow developers to require not only Direct Storage on both PC and Xbox but also realtime raytracing, 8 core (16 threads) CPU, VRS tier 2, mesh shaders and more.
MS own studios always are first adopters of every new DirectX. Now with 23 internal MS studios such as Bethesda, ID Sofwaare, Machine Games, Turn 10, Playground Games, Ninja Theory… adoption of Windows 11 will be very fast. MS don’t need to wait for EA or Ubisoft

This will be great time to be PC or Xbox gamer – true next generation games designed for modern hardware
Everyone wait for true next-gen games for PC and Xbox Series X. Games not limited by old 4-core CPU or SATA3 drives. True next-gen games for modern hardware
Keep choking and guzzling on that M$ dik.
Its not abandoning. The article is misleading in some aspects.
Direct Storage and Sampler Feedback give developers nearly unlimited virtual video memory. This will change how games like Starfield or Elder Scrolls can be designed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3ajo6khF9E
Bugthesda games are not the best example mate.
They neverr gonna do visual and technicak miracle, even in Starfield there is no climbing on ladder animation (trailer)
That “new” engine is still made from old Morrowind engine.
Bethesda is part of Microsoft. All their new games will be designed for Direct Storage – Xbox Series consoles and Windows 11. Just like with DX12 when all MS studios used DX12 since early 2016
a lot of MS game use DX11.
Which? All their games like Gears, Forza even early Quantum Break was DX12 only. I bet that all future games like Starfield, Forza Motorsport, Fable, Hallblade will require Direct Storage. Unlimited virtual video memory is biggest change in game design in last 20 years
Quantum Break was released as DX12 only game. One year later Remedy added DX11 support for people with old PC
MS always use newest DirectX for own games. All future games created by internal MS teams like Starfield, Doom, Fable, Fallout, Wolfenstein, Hellblade, Gears, Forza will use Direct Storage API because unlimited virtual video memory is important element of Xbox Series consoles – Velocity Architecture. All those games will be released only for Windows 11
Those games will be on Win 10 also. Being only windows 11 means that everybody in the world upgrading their CPU to the latest, yeah, that will never happen.
New games will be optimized for CPU from new consoles – Zen2 8 core with 16 threads. Those games can’t be run on old 4-6 core CPU.
If you design game with complex AI and physics using all 16 hardware threads then you can’t downgrade game to support 5 years old Core i7 with only 4 cores. It is not possible without downgrade whole gameplay on all platforms. Nobody want support on old 4 core CPU’s in next-gen games
The things you hope for with such power, I must admit you are over 9000, yeah not going to happen when they push releasing for XBONE and PS4, cross-gens.
Also limiting the versions to 11 means bad marketing for a lot of reasons, I repeat they cannot and will not force users to update their cpu using 6-4 cores with 12 or 8 threads so that they can play X game when that is more then enough. GPU is where the power is even with your complex AI, you have more than enough examples why it works .
That will be very sad if game developers will support old 4-6 core CPU for next-gen games. We waited so long for modern 8 core 16 threads CPU in consoles to enable advanced AI or physics in games. Console hardware should be used as minimum requirements on PC. We want advanced physics, AI using all 16 threads of modern consoles and PC. It will be very sad if games will be downgraded to support 5 years old slow 4 core CPU
Mostly…. the real game requirements are (99% of time) are the shaders and some CPU extenstions like for example shader model 3.0 and SSE2 as minimum. Most newer games you can run even with 1 – 2 core old CPUs (how it would run is different story)….. and mostly you can install Windows OS on pretty much everything.
“Most newer games you can run even with 1 – 2 core old CPUs”
Old games designed for Jaguar CPU from Xbox One. When I said next-gen games i think about games designed for Xbox Series consoles with Zen2 8 core 16 threads as minimum requirements. Consoles should be minimum hardware for future games. You don’t want new games designed for old slow Core i7 with only 4 cores (8 threads)
If new games would support SSE2 or similar there is no reason why it shouldnt be running on older CPUs. Sometimes they dropped the support for SSE2 but added it back with an patch after backslash for some games (out of 1000+ games, that happend to about 3-4 games or so…. so far). Believe it or not….. but almost all developers dont care too much about it (what CPU you are trying to use), they care about general sales.
MS internal studios don’t care about game sales. They care about MS goals. In next 2-3 years main goal for MS is promotion of Windows 11 and Xbox Series X. This is why all MS own games will be exclusive to Windows 11 and Xbox Series consoles.
Modern hardware will allow better games. This will be huge win for all PC owners. Games fully designed for modern fast PC. No more Jaguar or old 4-core CPU
New games will be optimized for CPU from new consoles – Zen2 8 core with 16 threads. Those games can’t be run on old 4-6 core CPU
Cries in Microsoft Flight Simulator…..
Microsoft Flight Simulator was not made by Microsoft but small studio Asobo Games. New Xbox version of MSF will be of course DX12 because MS don’t allow DX11 games on Xbox Series consoles
Bethesda is part of MIcrosoft. All their new games will be designed for Direct Storage – Xbox Series consoles and Windows 11
Did you not read the article? Never mind, you didn’t. If you did, you wouldn’t post such stupid bullshit in support of Microsoft destroying vast waves of perfectly good computers.
Those old computers are just like old consoles. Slow 4-core CPU, slow SATA3 drives, GPU without raytracing. This hardware is just too slow for next-gen gaming. You don’t want new games to be downgraded to support old 4-core 8 threads CPU.
Modern gaming PC in 2020/2021 should have at least 8-core (16 thread) CPU, fast NVME drive and RTX GPU with support of DXR raytrating, RTX IO (DirectStorage), Mesh Shaders, DirectML (DLSS), VRS.
Those old computers are just like old consoles. Slow 4-core CPU, slow SATA3 drives, GPU without raytracing. This hardware is just too slow for next-gen gaming. You don’t want new games to be downgraded to support old 4-core 8 threads CPU.
Perfectly good? 4 core trash?
Yeah, its called progress but the haters must throw sh*t at the train passing by their village for first time in history
I7 8700k is supported then ?
Yes, all 8th gen Intel CPUs are supported.
I have a 7820X and ran the check. It said my PC wasn’t compatible so I looked in my BIOS and there’s a setting called PTT and it worked! You also need secure boot and UEFI enabled. Also I read your boot drive might need to be a GUID partition so if you’re on Skylake you might be in luck
Vulkan will never take off because there’s too much money involved to make DX the standard.
Vulkan was always behind DX12. They was released 2 years later and still don’t support cross vendor raytracing. Vulkan also don’t support machine learning.
After MS bought ID Software (doom) and Machine Games (wolfenstein) no single big studio use this API. Next games like Doom or Wolfenstein will use DirectX 12, Direct Storage and Direct ML. I don’t be surprised if driver support for Vulkan will have lowest priority in next few years and then it will be dropped
“Vulkan was explicitly used by id Software because DX12 was dogshlte.”
No, They was forced to use Vulkan because publisher want support Windows 7 which was not supported by DirectX 12. But now ID Software is part of Microsoft so they can create games for Windows 11 using all advanced new features like Direct Storage. Internal MS studios always use newest version of DirectX in their games. MS now have 23 such studios
nice AMD cultist conspiracy theory. Vulkan sux, and everything AMD software sux, I’m really sorry anon but that’s just the nature of things
AyMD is a trash company that makes trash products
Will never take off? Vulkan is already through the moon.
i7 6700 @ 3.40 Skylake | R9 390x | M.2 NVMe Evo | Z170X-Gaming 7
My rig is 5 yrs old and not compatible due to not having “secure boot”.
I can play just about everything on it. Some of you have been telling me to get a better video card but the prices the past couple years are ridiculous.
No one’s mentioned networking yet. I have 4 Win10 PC’s, run a game server, plex server, etc. It took great pains to get all of them networked properly and once in a while for no reason Windows randomly decides one computer doesnt have permissions to access another. I also have a couple of the PC storage drives synced across the network. So doing “upgrades” isnt something to just jump into.
Windows 11 would throw a wrench into everything for people that networked PC’s, cost a lot of money to “upgrade” all the hardware, and basically rebuild the entire network from the ground up.
And you can bet Windows 10 and Windows 11 PC’s arent going to play nicely on the same network so doing one PC at a time over the span of a year or two due to affordability, Im not seeing it.
Why would MS put such hard restrictions out like this? I mean this seems really screwed up.
Maybe it’ll finally be the impetus for an MS-LIKE alternative OS to gain traction. (yeah right, lol)
I’m pretty positive you have secure boot. It’s in your UEFI bios, you can’t enable it and use it as your windows installation currently is right now. You’d have to enable it, then install Windows in that mode.
You can switch without having to reinstall Windows
Changing secure boot to legacy/CSM, and options related to that will often make Windows not boot. I see it all the time. Perhaps it’s disabling secure boot that does it, not enabling it when it was already off, but yeah, it can lead to no boot.
No, you can do it. We do it all the time at work when we clone and upgrade old HDD to SSD’s in client’s computers. The key is to reboot pc in safe mode and turn it off before it boots. Swap drive, change boot mode and boot it.
Yeah, so technically you can, but it’s not really a thing that anyone does or would advise someone to do.
But why in the heck would you clone an HHD to an SSD ? Spend a little extra time reinstalling software and you’re going to get the most pure experience. I’d fire someone if they thought cloning was the right solution. Every once in awhile a server or some accountant’s computer ity would make sense to do, but otherwise cloning is for dinosaurs.
we don’t just service one company. We service many different clients with specific setups.
Sucks but that’s how it goes. Another reason for 2500k/2600 users to upgrade. DirectStorage sounds awesome. Hope the adoption will be high.
This is the sentiment of a moronic sheep insisting that because something’s forced, this means people should upgrade.
Users with old 4 core (8 threads) CPU can’t run modern games designed for new consoles with 8 cores (16 threads). New games with complex physics or AI can’t be run on 5 years old CPU
name 1 game.
Well f@ck them then.
My 2600K is not going anywhere.
You seriously using that old trash.
I had one and 6 others that came after
I can play 2021 game like Resident Evil 8 with70fps at 1440p.
At 4.8Ghz this CPU is like 7th gen Intel for the most part.
If you follow these lists, you can’t run Windows 10 on Core 4000-series CPUs or older…
I have a 7820X and ran the check. It said my PC wasn’t compatible. I looked in my BIOS and there’s a setting called PTT. Enabling that passed the check. You also need secure boot and UEFI enabled. Also read your boot drive might have to be a GUID partition. So if you’re on Skylake you might be in luck
Here in the UK the government has said it will look in to the number of items, including computers, that Amazon is sending for destruction.
How many PCs is Microsoft trying to write off here?
JFYI you can download Microsoft’s Health Check app https://aka.ms/GetPCHealthCheckApp, which will confirm whether your PC is suitable for Windows 11.
Maybe someone will “crack” that cpu check to install win11 on a potato.
Of course someone will.
If windows 11 isn’t light enough for older rigs… then wouldn’t that make this a resource hog? I got a pretty good pc but no way in hell i’d upgrade to this bloated mess. As a new product this should be even lighter then windows 10. What in the hell does this os need high requirements for? DON’T UPGRADE!
Probably for cpu futures or security. It doesn’t mean it will be heavier
That’s not why it needs newer CPU’s.
It’s for security reasons. Newer CPU’s come with TPM chips (from 1.2 to 2.0) that are used to securely store any cryptographic keys.
Windows 11 according to the keynote (we should wait till benchmarks come out to be sure) IS lighter and faster than Windows 10.
Windows 11 IS lighter and more stable.
wtf is DirectStorage in a nutshell? I refuse to read their 25k character essay written in soppy homosexual silicon valley english
Direct access to NVME SSD from GPU. GPU can access data from NVM without asking CPU for help which allow for unlimited virtual video memory. This is called Velocity Architecture on new Xbox Series X and RTX IO on Nvidia hardware.

damn this sounds serious. thx

no more texture pop-in? sounds nice thx mate
Guess I’ll have to finally retire my 6700k, but I’ll wait until Windows 11 matures some before upgrading.
There’s no need. That thing rocks. Microsoft is just being either completely evil or completely stupid. My guess is evil. Screw the environment, screw the poor people, screw everything, just take the money and destroy millions (billions?) of dollars of perfectly good computing equipment during a global hardware shortage just as a global pandemic forced so many out of their jobs and homes. Who do they think they are, Apple? I just can’t fathom this level of maliciousness.
Never said I would be an early adopter of Windows 11 (figured that would have been obvious in my above post but I guess not). I also know the 6700k is still a good CPU.
very disgraceful to put such a short backwards compatibility policy
Oof, that is quite… bad. They are going to waste money in updating windows 10 for quite some time (I’m sure they will extend the date for retirement) because of this.
Windows 11 is so ‘amazing’ ? Can’t wait to miss it ?
It’s for games. For nom games, dual core and 4gb ram is the minimum system
Breaking free from retrocompatibility is the right way to drive innovation faster
While some disagrees I find it to be actually a good move, cut off support for basically legacy hardware IE a leaner install / memory footprint as they wont have to make fallbacks when the puter it runs on lack newer instruction sets etc. And on top of that it means dev’s who chose to only support the newer won’t have to spend time thinking too much about backwards compatibility.
The end result will be better for the majority of peeps in the end as it will allow more performance and less unused code in basically everything
Latest windows for recent hardware and 10 for older/legacy
Legacy and compatibility is why Windows #1 OS. It should stay this way.
ah who cares about the cpu req, if you’ve got a job then you should be able to afford a modern cpu. there are people on other threads complaining how their 2500k wont be able to run windows 11. if you want the latest might as well upgrade to the latest and greatest.
You CAN install it with bypass and I doubt that final release will be different.
im amazed that so many people stuck on 4 core trash CPU’s
Even 10400 is a better option for like no money, you get 6 core and 12 threads.
People cant be that poor
I’m running i7 5820k @ 4Ghz (6 core / 12 threads), its perfectly fine for all my needs, including gaming (RTX 3070, max settings, high fps, not at all bothered by potential bottlenecks – they are rare to be apparent + I’m covered with G-Sync).
as a matter of fact this system performs way above my actual needs.
I can afford the best CPUs, but windows 11 is simply not good enough of a reason for me to upgrade MB+CPU+RAM. it doesn’t even justify the hardware+software installation effort IMO.
Edit: I hear people saying the OS can be forcefully installed on unsupported CPU.
if that works without issues, including DirectStorage – I might consider installing to take better advantage of my 970 EVO NVME. but until that folds up… luckily I’m not normally bothered by load times since ssd.
If you can afford then you upgrade, if you cant then you cant.
Most people are not rocket scientists, we do it for us, for the hobby, for fun
I also had one, it was my first 6 core CPU + x99 Sabertooth, the x99 platform had some serious RAM bugs, like RAM channels just gone after reboot, sometimes appearing back after couple reboots, and sometimes i had to swap the mobo.
Why not get yourself a small upgrade?
8 core 5960x is 173USD on Aliexpress
the 10 core 6950x Broadwell is from 258USD
You can get ES [engineering sample] 16c/32t xeon for 400USD the E5-2697A-v4
or for 225USD the 12c/24t Xeon E5-2687W-v4
if I was you I would have the 10 core Broadwell as minimum, 260USD is nothing really.
BTW you can get an engineering sample of 10900K, a proper one with iGPU, i got one for my server to replace original 10700K, and on AIR with just auto OC i get 4.8 all core, and people that buy one for gaming, do 5 and up to 5.3Ghz easily, especially on water, but i needed something that wont heat my room so 4.8 on air is fine and when I encoded video using all core the temps just got to 67 degrees so its great the voltage is low and 4.8Ghz all core is nice for a home server.
I also have HDD server and it has 10400F and economy mode enabled in the bios and its plenty fast, holds 25 HDD’s [I managed to shove 25HDDs into standard 8 HDD case]
This is what I had since 5820K
5820K > 8700K > 9900K + 9600K >3960x + 10700K> 5950x + 10900K + 10400F
You dont have to code for directstorage, just release a windows 11 version, it is called directstorage because included in the directx, it is engaged automatically
The f*k you write? Tpm hhh ghf itp you cannot build a sentence without filling it with obscure acronyms?
Cant wait for the Pirated Edition with all these Bullshit Removed.
Have just installed this cr4p in an old notebook.
Now I’ll do some tests to see if it’s good or just some kind of Vista with extra steps.
And no, this notebook doesn’t meet the requirements, but being Windows you already know the tricks you need to use. OS broken af.
