processor compatibility with windows 11

Question

My laptop cannot upgrade to Windows 11 because of the processor requirement, my processor is an AMD Ryzen 3 2300U with Radeon vega Mobile Gtx, and when checking the supported processors I found the AMD Ryzen 3 2300U, my question is, will there be a new update to make compatible more processors (like mine) with Windows 11 ?.

Answer 1

Hello,

Unfortunately, AMD Ryzen 3 2300U processor is not compatible for Windows 11, according to Microsoft.

Please check with official Windows 11 list of supported processors: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors

You can drop a feedback to Microsoft about this, using Feedback hub app.

Regards.

Answer 2

Hi there,

Only 8th generation processors in intel and their equivalent are supported for Windows 11. This is been specified by the PC manufacturers for improved security and performance. I doubt there will not be any addition to the Processor now, So I would suggest you update the same.

We as a population are more interested in "Why is my processor not good enough for Windows 11"? I have little problem with sticking with Windows 10 except the VPN sorting situation is absurd. Why is one processor good and another not?
