Windows 11 issued Build 22000.176 to the Release Preview Channel a few days ago.

Means they are really making additions to the list?' ' There are still updates coming in the following days. ' But the Microsoft support team told that they will add 7th gen CPUs before Oct 5th.'Ĭould you point us to a document (or other source) in which Microsoft said that? If Microsoft announced - anywhere - that Microsoft 'will add 7th gen CPUs before Oct 5th', it would be welcome news - and important enough to be widely reported in the trade media - but there has been nothing reported in the media or (to my knowledge) in Microsoft documents concerning Windows 11. In a word, the answer to your question ' Will windows 11 support all 7th gen CPUs?' is, at this time, 'No.' Microsoft also issued an updated explanation of why Microsoft's requirements are what they are: ' Update on Windows 11 minimum system requirements and the PC Health Check app'.īoth suggests that Microsoft will not expand the list before Windows 11 is released on October 5. It’s something that Microsoft warned testers would happen at the beginning of the beta period of Windows 11, but it still highlights the often confusing minimum hardware requirements that Microsoft has set. Windows 11 testers in both the Dev and Beta channels have started receiving the message on incompatible PCs this week, just as Microsoft has announced its October 5th release date for the upcoming OS. Please install Windows 10 to participate in the Windows Insider Program in the Release Preview Channel.” “Your device is not eligible to join the Windows Insider Program on Windows 11. “Your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11,” says Microsoft’s warning. If you’ve been helping Microsoft test Windows 11 on a machine that doesn’t meet the minimum hardware requirements, you’ll likely see a message in Windows Update warning that you’ll need to reinstall Windows 10. Microsoft is starting to drop PCs from its Windows Insider testing program that are ineligible to upgrade to Windows 11. Microsoft began notifying Windows Insider participants running on unsupported processors to revert to Windows 10: Microsoft has given no indication whatsoever that the list will be expanded to include 7th Gen Intel Core processors. Check Microsoft's list of supported processors to check on a particular processor: ' Windows 11 supported Intel processors'.
