The latest Windows 11 Supported CPU list for AMD seems to be missing most of the Threadripper and Threadripper Pro CPUs which were listed on the original support list. This was a list dated 10/27/2021.
| AMD | Ryzen Threadripper | 2920X |
|---|---|---|
| AMD | Ryzen Threadripper | 2950X |
| AMD | Ryzen Threadripper | 2970WX |
| AMD | Ryzen Threadripper | 2990WX |
| AMD | Ryzen Threadripper | 3960X |
| AMD | Ryzen Threadripper | 3970X |
| AMD | Ryzen Threadripper | 3990X |
| AMD | Ryzen Threadripper PRO | 3945WX |
| AMD | Ryzen Threadripper PRO | 3955WX |
| AMD | Ryzen Threadripper PRO | 3975WX |
| AMD | Ryzen Threadripper PRO | 3995WX |
The Current AMD Threadripper list has only these models...
| AMD | Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO | 5945WX |
|---|---|---|
| AMD | Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO | 5955WX |
| AMD | Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO | 5965WX |
| AMD | Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO | 5975WX |
| AMD | Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO | 5995WX |
Did Microsoft omit these previous "Officially Supported" AMD CPUs or did something actually change making them unsupported?

Matt Bathke 0 Reputation points2023-05-16T08:22:26.67+00:00 Possibly a security concern or something along the lines of a Security Service Edge (SSE) issue. Maybe a performance issue with the TR series ? Seems every AMD CPU made is listed but the TR series. Why would MS alienate so many possible customers for WIN11 ?

Tracey Boyd 0 Reputation points2024-10-27T00:47:56.78+00:00 I am quite upset with the exclusion of Threader Ripper 2920X, 2950X, 2990WX AND all the 3000X and pro.
My issue that earlier this year, yes 2024 as a matter of fact, you (Microsoft) allowed me to load my TR 2950X to Win 11.
And for your information my system has ran flawlessly this entire time.
SO READJUST THE LIST AND ALLOW THOSE CPU'S TO RUN WIN 11. CAUSE MY OTHER 2950X HAS THE EXACT UPDATES NEEDED FOR WIN 11 EXCEPT THE FACT YOU BLOCK IT. SO UNBLOCK IT SO I CAN YOU IT FOR HOME USE.
TO EASY AND AWAIT YOU ALLOWING ME TO UPGRADE TO WIN 11 ON THIS VERY SYSTEM I AM TYPING ON IN WIN 10.

2023-05-17T17:41:04.26+00:00 Unless I’m missing something, the link is for the 10/17/22 list. The only difference I noticed is it’s no longer specific for Windows 11 build 22H2 and what OEM’s may use. Threadripper Pro 3945WX is a currently being sold by Lenovo with Windows 11 Pro installed. I bought mine because it “is/was” Windows 11 supported.

Álvaro G 5 Reputation points2024-04-19T22:55:51.1666667+00:00 Hello, I have an AMD Threadripper 2990WX, running Windows 11 and it is not on the compatibility list either, does this cause it to not work correctly?
Does anyone know if they are going to be included? Or should I go back to Windows 10?

2024-10-27T01:12:32.9133333+00:00 I assume that MS actually does read messages.
After wending a strong objection to my earlier this year TR2950 was granted upgrade without intervention at all.
So I was granted. By I just wanted to see if by chance it was approved somehow, and do you know it was.
I am downloading the upgrade while typing this up.
I guess since they allowed the first 29650X to go thru earlier. They checked my MS account and see that I truly did have a prior running 2950x.
Prayers are answered all the time. never doeubt in it.

Andrew Muto 0 Reputation points2025-01-16T17:35:43.0166667+00:00 Microsoft's PC Health Check says it is a supported processor. I am as confused as everyone else as to why it was removed from the list.
