Microsoft recently updateda list of supported Intel and AMD processors. While the company added a few new Ryzen chips including one that hasn't been released yet from AMD, Microsoft has somewhat strangely removed a lot of Intel processors from the list of compatible processors.
In addition to updating the list, Microsoft may also be preparing to block Windows 11 installations on unsupported hardware.
The German site Deskmodder he mentioned that one of his forum members was unable to install Windows 11 on an Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 system.
Ο user he is an Insider watching the Canary channel and the installation of Windows 11 build 25905 seems to have been blocked on his computer, even though all previous builds were working fine. AMD's Turin II P650 doesn't accept either updates.
Interestingly, replacing the Windows install.wim file of previous versions with that of version 25905 resulted in blocked installations in these previous versions as well, confirming that Microsoft definitely made a change. Bypass options like those provided by tools like Rufus and Ventoy among others may not be enough. Other and bypassing TPM doesn't seem to work either.
Although Microsoft has a list of compatible CPUs, many are running Windows 11 on unsupported chips.
Microsoft has in the past mistakenly made a Windows 11 upgrade available to users with unsupported hardware. The application “Control healths of the computer” also once complimented a system with Pentium 4 to install the operating system.
Let's get rid of the refurbished ones.
