Windows 11

Question

Hi, I just want to ask does my CPU compatible with Windows 11?

I have Pentium N4200 4 cores and 4 threads, and i have meet everything like 1ghz processor, 2 cores, tpm, storage, and directx. Why my CPU isn't compatible with Windows 11? i've been tried to run Windows 11 VM and tried to bypass the cpu check, after done installing Windows 11 it run perfectly fine without any issues?

Does my CPU will support Windows 11 in a future?

Thank you.

Answer 1

If you want better performance, go with the SSD option. In fact, I recently installed one and the performance has never decreased since.

And I don't think MS will be checking and adding processors again.

Answer 2

I don't know if i want to clean installation because i didn't want to make this laptop has poor performance,

Anyway what gonna you recommend to me buy a new compatible laptop for W11 or buy an SSD for this laptop?

I hope Microsoft will support this processor soon :)

Answer 3

There are workarounds to installing Win11 on an incompatible processor like clean-installing, but if you wanna stay with 10, you can stay, because Win10 will be supported till 2025.

Answer 4

That's mean i must to stay Windows 10 forever?

And Virtualization isn't 100% of Real CPU mean if i added 4 cores and the system read it as 4 cores and 4 threads, that's mean the virtual machine wouldn't be same like my main machine. Because i've been tried install Windows 10 with a same 4 cores added to the virtual machine and the performance does not same like my main windows os

Answer 5

That processor isn't listed as supported. Those processors which are listed can do the direct and easy upgrade, but the incompatible ones shod take workarounds. Additionally, the processors should support Virtualization Based Security which incompatible processors don't support.
