Windows 10: My computer meets and exceeds the requirements for Windows 11 but told it can't run Windows 11.

My computer has an AMD A10-9630P Radeon R5, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6GHz 2.60 GHz, 64 bit which exceeds the minimum requirements. Did Microsoft engineers arbitrarily pick the minimum AMD processor? If so, why?

Windows 11 CPU not supported but meeting minimum requirements

Hi,

maybe noone can have an easy answer here, but i'd like to know why the CPU I have on a tiny and maybe a bit old computer, an Intel Celeron J1900, which is a quad core CPU running at 2.0GHz is not supported by Windows 11 installer if the minimum CPU requirements to run Windows 11 are a 1.0GHz dual core CPU. And well, looking at the list, I'm pretty sure there are more CPUs in the same state, meeting the requirements, but not on the list, so unable to install Windows 11, even if Windows 10 runs perfectly and most probably Windows 11 will too.

Regards.

Ian, this is why Microsoft kept the option of upgrading to Windows 11 open with a disclaimer.
