Windows 11 CPU Compatibility

Question

The Windows 11 update recently became available on my system, but when I opened the PC Health Check app it told me my CPU was not compatible with the update. Following up, I saw that the minimum hardware requirements are at least two cores and 1 GHz speed, and that it has to be on the list of approved processors. My CPU has 8 cores and 3.5 GHz base speed, so it's well in excess of the hardware requirements, but it's not on the list. Is this list going to be expanded in the future? I don't want to replace my motherboard just to run Windows 11 when I already have a great piece of equipment.

My processor is an AMD FX(tm)-8320 8-core processor. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

No one here knows for sure whether or not the lists of acceptable processors will be expanded. The lists have been described as "final," but MS has reversed it course on things like this in the past.

Answer 2

No still means No
