Windows 11 supports Intel Pentium 4!

After several tests in beta, Microsoft introduced the Windows 11 on October 5. You can try Windows 11 on via Windows or by manually downloading Windows 11 ISO. However, this is only possible if the hardware you are using supports it .

The biggest problem with Windows 11 is requirements in hardware. Although the operating system upgrade is available for free from Windows 10, it can only be officially installed on supported devices.

Currently, only computers with CPUs are supported 8th generation and second generation Ryzen processors. Or so we knew…

Microsoft added some 7th generation Intel models to the list of supported processors and surprisingly, the does not block the upgrade on systems running Intel 4 661, which was released in 2007 and apparently does not meet all the requirements of Windows 11.

As you can see in the image above, the Intel Pentium 4 661, which has only one core and 3.6Ghz clock speed, is mentioned as a supported processor in PC Health Check.

Microsoft probably forgot to add all the processors not supported in PC Health Check for this particular Intel chip family.

The Intel 15 Family Model is not included in the list of unsupported CPUs, and according to PC Health Check, Windows 11 can be officially installed.

Some users have already installed Windows 11 normally on computers with Pentium 4 661 after bypassing the requirements for TPM 2.0 & Secure Boot and regularly receive cumulative updates such as Build 22000.282.
