Honestly, it's a very niche, specialty device that few users have ever purchased.Īt least, very few people bought optional hardware TPM until yesterday, after seeing the Windows 11 requirements and subsequently panicking. However, most of those boards do theoretically support hardware TPM, with a special 19-pin header ready to plug one in. Most build-your-own-PC motherboards, even flagship boards, don't come with a hardware TPM module installed. We strongly suspect Windows 11 will work fine on many considerably older processors. We're not certain how trustworthy that list is, though. Microsoft has a relatively short list of supported CPUs from three major manufacturers (AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm) that generally goes back to Ryzen 2500 or Intel 8th generation Core-no farther. The CPU requirement may be more or less of a problem than it initially seems. No word yet on whether there will be a workaround, like the current "don't plug the network cable in until after setup" dance. The Microsoft account and Internet connectivity are only mandatory for Home-not Pro. In addition to those hardware requirements, Windows 11 Home requires Internet connectivity and a Microsoft cloud account. Display-720p minimum resolution, nine-inch minimum diagonal measurement, 8 bits per color channel or higher.TPM-Trusted Platform Module 2.0 is listed as a minimum requirement TPM 1.2 may or may not be "good enough"-but read on before throwing your hands up in despair!.Graphics-Compatible with DX12 or later, with WDDM 2.0 driver.but we'd recommend at least 128GB for a vaguely normal system Storage-64GB minimum for installation.CPU-1 GHz or faster, two or more cores, x86_64 or ARM64 only.General hardware requirementsĪlthough Windows 11 does bump general hardware requirements up some from Windows 10's extremely lenient minimums, it will still be challenging to find a PC that doesn't meet most of these specifications. We'll walk you through all of Windows 11's announced requirements, including TPM-and make sure to note when all this is likely to be a problem. Although this requirement is a bit of a mess, it's not as onerous as millions of people have assumed. Windows 11 is the first Windows version to require a TPM, and most self-built PCs (and cheaper, home-targeted OEM PCs) don't have a TPM module on board. Further Reading Windows 11 is much more than a new theme slapped onto Windows 10
