Update on Windows 11 minimum system requirements


UPDATE 8/27: Update on Windows 11 minimum system requirements and PC Health Check app

Windows Insiders,

Today we’re releasing our first Insider build for Windows 11, and we’re looking forward to the insight that comes from you installing and using on a variety of your PCs. Last week’s introduction of Windows 11 signaled the first step on our journey to empower people with the next generation of Windows. With a new generation comes an opportunity to adapt software and hardware to keep pace with people’s computing needs today and in the future.

The intention of today’s post is to acknowledge and clarify the confusion caused by our PC Health Check tool, share more details as to why we updated the system requirements for Windows 11 and set the path for how we will learn and adjust. Below you will find changes we are making based on that feedback, including ensuring we have the ability for Windows Insiders to install Windows 11 on 7th generation processors to give us more data about performance and security, updating our PC Health check app to provide more clarity, and committing to more technical detail on the principles behind our decisions. With Windows 11, we are focused on increasing security, improving reliability, and ensuring compatibility. This is what drives our decisions.

Why new Windows 11 minimum system requirements

Windows 11 is designed and built as a complete set of experiences, unlocking the full power of the PC our customers have come to rely on, including in areas like security, reliability, compatibility, video conferencing, multitasking, playing, creating, building, learning and more. We need a minimum system requirement that enables us to adapt software and hardware to keep pace with people’s expectations, needs and harness the true value and power of the PC to deliver the best experiences, now and in the future. To do that, we were guided by the following principles:
  1. Security. Windows 11 raises the bar for security by requiring hardware that can enable protections like Windows Hello, Device Encryption, virtualization-based security (VBS), hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI) and Secure Boot. The combination of these features has been shown to reduce malware by 60% on tested devices. To meet the principle, all Windows 11 supported CPUs have an embedded TPM, support secure boot, and support VBS and specific VBS capabilities.
  2. Reliability. Devices upgraded to Windows 11 will be in a supported and reliable state. By choosing CPUs that have adopted the new Windows Driver model and are supported by our OEM and silicon partners who are achieving a 99.8% crash free experience.
  3. Compatibility. Windows 11 is designed to be compatible with the apps you use. It has the fundamentals of >1GHz, 2-core processors, 4GB memory, and 64GB of storage, aligning with our minimum system requirements for Office and Microsoft Teams.
Using the principles above, we are confident that devices running on Intel 8th generation processors and AMD Zen 2 as well as Qualcomm 7 and 8 Series will meet our principles around security and reliability and minimum system requirements for Windows 11. As we release to Windows Insiders and partner with our OEMs, we will test to identify devices running on Intel 7th generation and AMD Zen 1 that may meet our principles. We’re committed to sharing updates with you on the results of our testing over time, as well as sharing additional technical blogs.

PC Health Check App

See if PC meets Requirements for Windows 11 with PC Health Check app

With these minimum system requirements in mind, the PC Health Check app was intended to help people check if their current Windows 10 PC could upgrade to Windows 11. Based on the feedback so far, we acknowledge that it was not fully prepared to share the level of detail or accuracy you expected from us on why a Windows 10 PC doesn’t meet upgrade requirements. We are temporarily removing the app so that our teams can address the feedback. We will get it back online in preparation for general availability this fall. In the meantime, you can visit our minimum system requirements page here to learn more.

First build of Windows 11 available to Windows Insiders today

Today, we’re releasing the first preview build of Windows 11 to the Windows Insider community. In support of the Windows 11 system requirements, we’ve set the bar for previewing in our Windows Insider Program to match the minimum system requirements for Windows 11, with the exception for TPM 2.0 and CPU family/model. By providing preview builds to the diverse systems in our Windows Insider Program, we will learn how Windows 11 performs across CPU models more comprehensively, informing any adjustments we should make to our minimum system requirements in the future. We look forward to the product feedback and learnings as it’s an important step to prepare Windows 11 for general availability this year – thank you to the Windows Insider community for your excitement and feedback thus far!

Don' want to turn this into a "distro dispute" -- but at least with me, you would lose your bet -- badly!! I used several different distros for years and years and settled in on Ubuntu and Linux Mint a few years ago. And then, the key apps I used got dropped from the repos -- so I resorted to building them from scratch -- certainly not "the same ease" as installing from the repos. Then, the libraries got dropped and I could no longer build from source. Then, the printer utilities for checking ink levels got dropped, so I could no longer check that. This got to be so bad that two years ago, I stopped using the distros altogether. I recently tried Ubuntu 20.04 to see if things were any better -- they were not.

I have to apologise, Mark, I was making assumptions. Based on experiences from years ago, where hardware that had lost driver support in Windows, Linux seemed to have far superior ability to run older stuff natively from its repositories. I can quite understand that the situation may have changed.

I found out why Microsoft is setting much high requirements, they are planning to enable Device Guard and Credential Guard.

This is why probably all CPUs prior to the 7th gen will be excluded.

I run the test on a VM, the VM doesn't have TPM, (EDIT: I added fake TPM) while my laptop does, and here are the result.

I will not explain how to run the test cause this will slow down your PC a lot, like a lot, but if anyone interested, try to figure out yourself here is the link Download Device Guard and Credential Guard hardware readiness tool from Official Microsoft Download Center NOT RECOMMENDED, Don't enable or try to run the test it will slow down your PC

I believe that the 6th gen will not be supported sorry @i486 these features were first introduced to the 7th gen (page 50 EPT and dirty bits)

If I replace a motherboard and cpu to meet Windows 11 requirements will I have to buy a new Windows and office license? If I have to buy new licenses then I see this as a big ripoff more than an security issue.

I would love to see communication between Microsoft and hardware manufacturers to see if a deal has been made.

Thanks Count Mike. I do have retail versions of Windows and office. I don't mind swapping out hardware in this deal as long as MS doesn't force me to buy new licenses too.

We'll see. If they hold on to those requirements there will be some backlash, time will tell if that's enough to change their minds. This is a time of chip shortage and elevated prices after all. Windows 10 getting 4½ more years won't change the reception Windows 11 gets if nothing changes.

Not supported doesn't mean can't run it. So many devices are not supported by Windows 10 and they are running Windows 10.

Unless Microsoft is planning to block updates for the unsupported devices, which I believe most likely Microsoft will not do it.

According to Microsoft, Windows 10 is not supported on any Intel processor earlier than 5th gen. If that were strictly enforced than more than half my PCs running 21H1 would not be allowed to do so - certainly not my Pentium B960 that the 'Get Windows 10' app was perfectly happy to upgrade to 10 back in 2015.

I had Windows 10 licensed on my old rig. I built a new rig last year, all new HDs, mobo, CPU, RAM, and when I logged in to my Microsoft account after performing a clean install of Win10, it automatically made the install licensed and activated it.

I don't see Microsoft doing anything differently for Win 11.

According to Microsoft, Windows 10 is not supported on any Intel processor earlier than 5th gen. If that were strictly enforced than more than half my PCs running 21H1 would not be allowed to do so - certainly not my Pentium B960 that the 'Get Windows 10' app was perfectly happy to upgrade to 10 back in 2015.

Not supported doesn't mean can't run it. So many devices are not supported by Windows 10 and they are running Windows 10.

Unless Microsoft is planning to block updates for the unsupported devices, which I believe most likely Microsoft will not do it.

This.

I ran Windows 10 on an 'unsupported' CPU for years. Even ran Windows Insider builds live on it for a few of those years, as well. Well documented at the tenforums site.

Even if they attempt to enforce it, we already have workarounds to get around the installer through several methods, notable the WIM copy to Win10 ISO, and others.

And the techeads and geeks around the world won't let it sit there if Microsoft starts enforcing it's installer to verify hardware - they'll continue to find workarounds.

Plus, 10 is supported through 2025 (14 October is the supposed date for now).

If I replace a motherboard and cpu to meet Windows 11 requirements will I have to buy a new Windows and office license? If I have to buy new licenses then I see this as a big ripoff more than an security issue.

I would love to see communication between Microsoft and hardware manufacturers to see if a deal has been made.

No. You don't need a new license. It will fall under "hardware upgrade" where you can re-activate your windows OS and transfer your office license into your new computer or hardware.
I just upgraded 2 computers yesterday (changed motherboard, CPU and RAM on both PC) and I was successfully able to re-activate my Windows 10 OS and Office. Except for one machine where there was an error transferring the license for the Office. A microsoft agent connected remotely to the PC to fix the license transfer issue and it is okay now.

"Looey" didn't state what sort of Windows license is on the machine.

The licenses in pre-built machines (HP, Dell, etc.) may not be. Some even use keys embedded in the BIOS of the machine. I have no personal experience with that; haven't bought a pre-built since 1995.

The machine I'm typing this on had a digital license for Windows 10. The Win11 22000.51 clean install activated online.

If you are running VM using 6th gen, can you please enable enable Device Guard and Credential Guard and provide the result of the script Download Device Guard and Credential Guard hardware readiness tool from Official Microsoft Download Center and provide screenshots

You can disable them later, I just want to check if Device Guard and Credential Guard can be enable ith the 6th gen. If so I want to send a feedback to Microsoft.

Thanks, I hope you didn't restore yet, the -capable needed a restart to get the info if the your hardware can support it, you need to enable both "-Enable -HVCI" and "-Enable -CG "

If you have restored your VM, it is ok, thanks for doing it, I was thinking that the 6th gen can enable it.
Any CPU can run it, but it will be so slow without hardware support.

This was tested on a physical machine, a Dell Latitude E7240 on which I run my VMs. After using -capable it was restarted, the last part at the bottom of the composite screenshot was taken after the restart.

I have restored its image and the machine is currently busy building the 22000.65 ISO courtesy of UUPDump. When it's done I could run further tests if it helps.

I edited my post, 2015, 2016 2017, they require additional qualifications each year check the link Windows Defender Credential Guard Requirements (Windows 10) - Microsoft 365 Security


But I checked the requirement and the 6th gen should be fine, but maybe they are working on something new.

So even if they support 7th gen now, it maybe removed in the next release of windows 11.

Are these high qualifying standards partly just to frighten us? At the museum where I am a volunteer, in our workshop, the old pc we use is running W10 20H2 with a core 2 duo with no problems. My laptop has the TPM embedded in the motherboard, but only has a gen 6 Intel processor,should I try updating to W11? The pc which I use daily is AMD which seems to have left out of this discussion
