Windows 11 Processor

Hi Jared,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Microsoft were testing and adding some more processors, and did add some to the list, they indicate they have now 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 7700QH 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.

Another option would be to contact your PC manufacturer to see if that processor can be upgraded.

Windows 11 Processor List

Hi DanMcW,

I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

I'm afraid not. Microsoft has indicated that the list of compatible processors is final.

See the link below for supported processors for Windows 11.

Microsoft does not recommend installing Windows 11 on computers that are not supported. Your device may malfunction due to compatibility or other issues.

But if you still want to install on an unsupported device, I suggest you check the article below first.

I also suggest that you contact your computer manufacturer to see if you can upgrade your computer's processor to be compatible with Windows 11.

Feel free to ask back any questions.

 

The Ryzen 5 2500U processor seems to meet Windows 11 requirements but isn't on the list of supported processors, why is this processor excluded?

The Ryzen 5 2500U processor seems to meet Windows 11 requirements but isn't on the list of supported processors, will the list of be updated to include the Ryzen5 2500U, if not, what is the reason for exclusion?
