Updated Intel CPU List no longer lists that i can see Any Intel 8th Gen, 9th Gen or 10th Gen Processors

Windows processor requirements Windows 11, version 24H2 supported Intel processors

This specification details the Intel processors that can be used with Windows 11, version 24H2 customer systems that include Windows products, including custom images.

Guess good thing i decided in July 2024 to go ahead and make the switch to AMD Ryzen based motherboard, processor, DDR5, and associated parts. Previously used Intel 10700 on Older Motherboard

The processors listed represent the processor models which meet the minimum floor for the supported processor generations and up through the latest processors at the time of publication. These processors meet the design principles around security, reliability, and the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. Subsequently released and future generations of processors which meet the same principles will be considered as supported, even if not explicitly listed.

Translation: We don't have time to list every single Intel CPU that runs 24H2.

And didn't MS actually lower the CPU requirements recently? Kind of unannounced. CPU and TPM requirements

    I'm a computer enthusiast so have quite a few systems that I run. More like an advanced hobby.
Microsoft also updated the 24H2 support list for AMD CPUs. Strangely they didn't include the AMD 9000 series CPUs that came out last year.

learn.microsoft.com

Windows processor requirements Windows 11, version 24H2 supported AMD processors

This specification details the AMD processors that can be used with Windows 11, version 24H2 customer systems that include Windows products, including custom images.
learn.microsoft.com

BTW, the updated list also doesn't include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU that came out a year ago. That may be because the Ryzen 7 5700X3D is probably a lower clocked Ryzen 7 5800X3D which is on the list.

Same wording on the AMD article.
Subsequently released and future generations of processors which meet the same principles will be considered as supported, even if not explicitly listed. It is expected that the processor list will not reflect the most current offerings from processor manufacturers between updates. Updates to the processor lists will occur at each subsequent general availability of Windows.

Well, did Microsoft officially ban Comet Lake, thus treating them like they are Kaby Lake now?
I hope that Microsoft didn't ban Vermeer!

The list seems to have switched back to the previous requirements (dated March 1, 2024).

Are others getting that?

Regardless, the requirement was for newly built PCs with 24H2. I doubt that MS is refusing updates for PCs with 8th and 9th generation Intel CPUs.

Right, seeing that even an Intel i5 7500 runs Windows 11 and was never in this list.

Conclusion: the list sucks

How the hell does it know its a new machine. Lets say your hard drive crashes and you have to reinstall fresh with new license or a cheap oem license will it refuse?!

I'm running a Comet Lake processor but the way I read that MS link is it's for OEMs to determine which processors may be used in "new" windows devices. That said I would say the article is meaningless as far as we're concerned.
