Windows 10: W11 hardware specs

I am looking at a new computer and the installed O/S, as purchased, is W11 S mode. The hardware specs are as follows:11th generation I3-1115g4 processor with 6gb cache up to 4.1ghz8gb ram 2666mhz128gb m.2 solid state driveHowever, if i change the O/S to W11 home, it changes the processor, hd and memory as follows:11th generation I7-11165g7 processor with 12gb cache up to 4.7ghz12gb ram 2666mhz512gb m.2 solid state driveIs there a reason that w11 home will NOT work in the original configuration? Thank you

:)

 

Poodlefake hardware to Run W11 on MBR only computer

I just installed a new W11 Pro on my System 1 (listed in My Computers) which has an i5-7600 CPU. It installed with no warnings.



Whynot W11 recognizes the incorrect CPU but W11 doesn't seem to mind. I couldn't find any warnings anywhere that the VM is non -compliant. I had this running for a couple of hours before I realized that the VM wasn't part of the insider program. I added it to the insider program and still no warnings.

I have W11 VM that boots on a mbr setup and that one displays a warning that the system is not compatable:

 

Poodlefake hardware to Run W11 on MBR only computer

Hi there
For people who want to run W11 and don't have the required hardware you can get round the problem by running W11 as a Virtual Machine. You'll probably need to run it on a Linux HOST although I believe HYPER-V can also be played with to "poodlefake" hardware requirements.

I did it on an old SONY VAIO MBR only laptop --around 7 years old - doesn't even have USB3 support - only USB2 ports.

Anyway

W11 VM on Old MBR only computer - Working properly with sec boot and TPM emulator | Windows 11 Forum

If you try it -- have fun. Linux as a host using KVM can be very small so not much OS overhead and the VM can perform nearly as well as Native running. !!!

I'd be interested also if a TPM emulator can be made to work in HYPER-V. I imagine the UEFI and Sec boot isn't a problem for a VM whatever the VM software used is. I'm not sure if "Poodlefaking" the topography of the Virtual CPU is possible though on HYPER-V. Still W11 should still install. Latest W11 version is currently Windows 11 at 168.
