Maybe, or probably another Microsoft and Intel marketing tactics just like when Windows 10 released at first some older system is not compatible too.

it has nothing to do with age. microsoft think it's less stable and more prone to security issue. besides that, it's been a while M$ force everyone to buy new hardware yawn.gif . i think the last was win98 > winXP era.

Devices that do not meet the minimum system requirements had 52% more kernel mode crashes. Devices that do meet the minimum system requirements had a 99.8% crash free experience.

It is release 6 years ago, not so new anymore.

Main reason Microsoft choose generation is to ensure that TPM 2.0 is confirm there. Gen 7 had possibility MB for them not came with TPM 2.0

Tpm is just one of factors anyway

Microsoft choose at least 8th gen is because guaranteed performance and stability with DCH drivers support, enough performance for security core like HVCI (core isolation / memory integrity)

And OEMs only still support most pc-s after 8th gen in terms of firmware and driver support

6th and 7th gen mostly already dropped support from OEMs so DCH drivers mostly not available for them by OEMs, and both of them while possible to run HVCI core isolation / memory integrity, Microsoft thinks performance penalties just too much for them because lack of newer specific processors instructions

Not all, but Gen 8 is much guarantee. Anyway you can bypass it easily, I run in my Gen 6 Laptop and perfectly no issue.

That is one of the reason also, but mainly TPM 2.0 is confirmed there for Gen 8 and above.

My laptop with 6th gen actually comes with TPM2.0 build into chipset Intel ME function

But still not pass the check just because of processor generation

(Anyway I can use registry key to bypass that and upgrade to win11 anyway)

just ran a test on my laptop and found incompatible just because I have gen 7 processor, everything else are meeting the requirement...

While it is true that 7th gen CPUs will not be supported for Windows 11, you can still force an upgrade with an ISO, and despite what Microsoft is saying about unsupported PCs will not get updates, that one has been debunked because there are plenty of reports that Microsoft is still providing updates to unsupported PCs icon_idea.gif

The reason why they are 'unsupported' is because of Microsoft's DCH driver requirements needed for stability and performance icon_idea.gif

Technically you don't even need new hardware, all you need is the installation media and force an upgrade tongue.gif

In typical Microsoft fashion, their 'requirements' are never enforced at all (remember Windows 10 upgrade 'deadline' a few years back?) icon_idea.gif

Yes.. But does not make sense to get a system replacement for a totally fine 5 years old system... just because of Win11 right?

Also I worry various app issue or classic games might have issue with Win11

Next, Windows 12 will required processor with TPM 3.0 in the future. That's how they do their businesses from now on. It's a conspiracy.

Is it worth the hassle?

Win 10 seems to be functioning well.
