AMD Zen 3 processor not supported by Windows 11?

Hello,

I just did the Windows Health Report in order to find out if my PC is compatible with Windows 11 and the results are a bit confusing.

The report states that my PC is compatible with Windows 11 and I am able to update through Windows Update, but further down in the report it says "CPU not supported for Windows 11". I'm using a Ryzen 7 5700X processor.

A Microsoft representative said my CPU generation is not supproted because it lacks some features that only newer processors have.

It is true that my CPU is not listed in the article with the list of supported AMD processors, but a lot of older generation AMD CPUs can be found in the list.

Could it really be that Ryzen 5700X is not supported by Windows 11?

This is to meet Microsoft principles about security and reliability.

There has been no new announcement from Microsoft yet if they plan to add more processors to the list. I recommend reaching out to your Original Equipment Manufacturer as they will be able to provide you with information regarding any options you may have for upgrading your device's current processor.

You may need to consider using Windows 10 as it continues to be a great version of Windows. Microsoft is committed to supporting Windows 10 through October 14, 2025.

Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.

Kind regards,

Where is an up to date list of AMD processors supported by Windows 11?

Hi John,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Here is the latest list of Windows 11 compatible AMD processors.

Microsoft were testing and adding some more processors, and did add some to the list, they indicated they had completed testing, and no more processors will be added to the official list.

It is possible to install Windows 11 on an unsupported processor using the Windows 11 ISO, I have Windows 11 installed on an unsupported Core i7 7700HQ processor and Windows 11 runs very smoothly, however Microsoft advise you do not do that, they will not be liable for any problems caused by doing that and also you would not receive Windows 11 updates, however, everyone that has installed Windows 11 on an unsupported processor is still receiving updates.

Microsoft provide the required registry edit on this link:
