Posted June 28, 2021 Windows 11 requires Intel 8th gen or better, mostly for TPM 2.0 support, I think.

Posted June 28, 2021 You need an 8th-gen or newer Intel CPU, or any AMD Ryzen CPU. If your motherboard supports it, you might be able to get a TPM 2.0 module, but there might be other things keeping you off it. If it makes you feel any better, Windows 10 will be supported till at least 2025, and is virtually identical outside of the new glassy look.

Only then think about upgrading or switching over to newer components though in my honest opinion if enough people do this you really wont have to worry because Microsoft will chicken out and release either a fix for older hardware to run or a new windows all together.

The cpu gen lock will be removed, its one of the top rated feedback complaints on the insider forum, that and remove TPM 2.0 lock. For now they have their heads firmly up their own rears though.

For now they have their heads firmly up their own rears though. Honestly the only positive side to this is that the management department seems to have pees for brains, right now in this global electronic shortage is the worst time to try and pull up this stunt, sure there are a few people who fell for it, just by looking in the forums you can see loads of people that the very idea that they can wait it out for at least 4 years on windows 10 with full security and bug fixes seems to elude them, they just want to rush and get the latest thing regardless of how good or bad it is... But considering the financial impact Corona had on many, the state of the electronic and especially of the IT market, this is the worst time to pull this stunt, maybe a bit over 2 years ago they would have had a better chance but right now it seems doomed for failure. Though MS being the salty and haughty bastard it always had been will probably try to push this hard for a few months up to around 1 year before they will retract it and either build a new windows or patch 11, though to be honest, i don't think they will patch windows 11, they will just give up on it and launch a new windows with more hardware support. If you look at their track record this is what they always did when things went bad, they abandoned the OS and moved the marketing to the new OS (like with vista and windows 8).

Posted October 8, 2021 Okay so I installed win 11 on two i5-4570s but when I try to install it on a i5-4590 it kicks a cpu not supported. Neither CPU is on the supported list. From what I have read so far about 11 is that you only need a TPM 2.0 if you are doing an upgrade, A clean install won't require it. The 4570's were a dell and a lenovo but the other was a Custom build with a MSI mobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 8, 2021 It's quite possible to install Windows 11 on virtually any machine using various hacks. I've already tested it on about 8 different machines, including a Duo Core with no problems. You can also install it into a VM if you wish to try it out without using your main machine. All of these were upgraded from activated Windows 10. A clean install doesn't guarantee that you can run it on an unsupported machine unless you create a special bootable flash drive, though I haven't bothered with that method because Windows 11 would then require an activation key.
