Intel 10th generation (Comet Lake Ice Lake Amber Lake)įor AMD, Windows 11 CPU compatibility goes back to 2018. You can install Windows 11 on older PCs, but there is a catch: You're probably not going to get any updates. The folks over at PC World scrubbed the list and pulled the most popular consumer-level CPUs. We agree with their assessment. Microsoft has a full list of all supported Intel processors, including chips from the Atom, Celeron, Pentium, Xeon and Core series. So, anyone who bought a Surface Pro (2017) will be out of luck, as that uses a 7th generation chip. Only chips from Intel's 8th generation or newer will be compatible with Windows 11. Plus: Windows 11 requirements: Microsoft says there’s no getting around them.How to install Windows 11 - a step-by-step guide.Windows 11 release date, beta and all the new features.Here's everything we know so far about CPUs that are compatible with Windows 11. There's actually been so much consternation that Microsoft has had to pull the PC Health Check app (and then re-deploy it later) as confusion abounded and left many wondering what to do.
