Windows 10: Will more devices become compatible with Windows 11?

I have a device with an Intel i7-7820HQ processor, which seems to support Windows 11 - but only for specific devices as is visible here Supported Systems Microsoft Learn. My device is not covered, although the processor should be modern enough at least if it were in another device. Can I expect that more devices with this processor will receive coverage later? Or, if I install Windows 11 manually, will it function properly and receive the normal updates?

3DMark 11 v1.0.4 Released, Now Fully Compatible with Windows 8

Futuremark updated 3DMark 11 to version 1.0.4, which makes the benchmark fully compatible with Windows 8. The update also addresses other compatibility issues and a few uncommon bugs. Benchmark scores are not affected and scores from this new version can be compared with scores from the previous version 3DMark 11 v1.0.3.





DOWNLOAD: 3DMark 11 v1.0.4
Improvements:

• Keyboard focus is no longer checked during the demo or when running the benchmark in a loop. Note that if the display switches to the desktop due to a popup window during the benchmark, the run will still be aborted as the display mode is no longer the same.
• 3DMark 11 now remembers the last custom resolution used.
• GPU count detection for multi-GPU systems is now correct even when SystemInfo is explicitly disabled.
• 3DMark 11 will now prevent Windows from entering Sleep during the test.
• The license key is now reset when the benchmark is reinstalled, allowing removal of invalid keys.

Compatibility:

• SystemInfo updated to version 4.15 for full Windows 8 compatibility.
• Updated DirectX redistributable.
• Now using static Visual C++ 2010 runtime libraries to fix rare installation issues on some systems.
• Removed dependency on EvaDotNet.dll and EvaDotNet.DirectX.dll for GPU enumeration to fix compatibility issues with some systems.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed display initialization code that caused "SetFullscreenState failed: DXGI_ERROR_NOT_CURRENTLY_AVAILABLE" errors on some systems.
• Fixed several memory and texture leaks, improving stability during very long looping runs.
• The HUD timer no longer rolls over if a single test takes more than ten minutes. (Yes, this could happen during the Combined Test on some low end DirectX 11 cards.)

Professional Edition Only:

• Fixed submitting saved files to 3dmark.com from the command line.
• Image Quality Tool no longer gives a cryptic error if the output directory does not exist.

 

Windows 11 compatibility questions?

Hello Mike,

To see if your Windows 10 computer is compatible with Windows 11, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings by pressing "Win + I" on your keyboard.
   
2. Press the option "Update and Security"
   

Windows will tell you if your computer is compatible.





If your computer is not compatible ensure 'TPM2.0' is enabled in your BIOS. To enable this is different for every manufacturer so I will not list the steps here.
