Microsoft on Monday acknowledged the “confusion” that its guidance on Windows 11 upgrade compatibility has created, while adding that it plans to identify PCs running older Intel and AMD chips that might be able to support the forthcoming operating system.
The company has said that its hardware requirements for upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 include having a processor from Intel’s eighth generation and newer, or AMD’s Zen 2 series and up.
That appears to put the cutoff for Windows 11 at devices made in 2019 or after, when those two processor lineups were introduced.
However, in a blog post on Monday, Microsoft said that some older PCs running seventh-gen Intel chips or AMD Zen 1 processors may ultimately be compatible with Windows 11. The company said it is attempting to determine which devices those might be, by working with Windows Insider testers.
