Список процессоров с поддержкой ОС Windows 11
- Intel — CPU семейства Coffee Lake, дебютировавшего в конце 2017 года, и новее. Всего поддерживается 537 процессоров против 883 моделей для актуальной версии ОС Windows 10. Полный список процессоров Intel с поддержкой ОС Windows 11 собран на отдельной странице сайта Microsoft.
- AMD — CPU с архитектурой Zen+, дебютировавшей весной 2018 года, и новее. Для Windows 11 всего заявлена поддержка 167 процессорах, тогда как ОС Windows 10 работает на 369 моделях чипов AMD. Полный список процессоров AMD с поддержкой ОС Windows 11 собран на отдельной странице сайта Microsoft.
- Qualcomm — модели 2018 года и новее. Всего в списке числится семь чипов, включая кастомные Microsoft SQ1 и Microsoft SQ2.
Не исключено, что это не окончательные версии и в итоге списки будут расширены, но пока они такие. Кроме того, ОС Windows 10 зачастую можно «подружить» с процессорами, которые официально не поддерживаются. Но как в итоге ситуация будет обстоять с ОС Windows 11, пока можно только гадать.
На странице FAQ («Часто задаваемые вопросы») операционной системы Windows 11 24H2, которую можно найти по адресу System > About («Система» > «О системе»), появился новый раздел, который подскажет пользователям, достаточно ли у них объёма оперативной памяти и мощности графического процессора для запуска современных игр. Сейчас нововведение проходит стадию тестирования и в ближайшее время станет доступно всем пользователям ОС. Кроме того, раздел объяснит, почему оперативная память крайне важна для стабильной работы.
Как видно из изображения ниже, сейчас в разделе есть ответы на несколько вопросов:
- Использую ли я последнюю версию Windows? Какая версия Windows считается последней?
- Достаточно ли моего графического процессора для запуска современных игр? Как мощность GPU может повлиять на производительность и мой пользовательский опыт?
- Как влияют 8–16 ГБ оперативной памяти на производительность моего ПК? Могу ли я запускать современные приложения с таким объёмом ОЗУ?
Как сообщают авторы тематического ресурса Windows Latest, ответы очень поверхностные, но, видимо, таким образом разработчики из Microsoft намерены помочь пользователям, которые практически не разбираются в компьютерах.
Так, например, если у пользователя всего 4 ГБ оперативной памяти, Windows пояснит, что это минимальный объём для работы операционной системы, 4–8 ГБ ОЗУ будет достаточно для выполнения стандартных задач, например, сёрфинга в сети интернет или редактирования документов, но в конечном итоге пользователь столкнётся с проблемами, если попытается запустить одну из современных игр.
Журналисты уверены, что раздел FAQ — это отличная идея, но он требует большего числа развёрнутых ответов.

Windows 11 23H2 (2023 Update) has the same hardware requirements as versions 22H2 and 21H2. According to the company, “version 23H2 shares the same servicing branch and code base as Windows 11, version 22H2.” This means that the upgrade “will be a simple update to version 23H2 via a small enablement package” without reinstallation. If your computer is already running Windows 11 22H2, it’s compatible with version 23H2.
However, if you plan to upgrade a device running Windows 10, the hardware has to meet the minimum requirements, including a 64-bit dual-core processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0, and Secure Boot. Also, as part of the installation process, you must create an account with a Microsoft account with an internet connection. Otherwise, you won’t be able to complete the setup on a new installation.
This guide will go through the new system requirements for installing Windows 11 and the steps to check whether your computer will run the new version of the operating system.
- Windows 11 23H2 system requirements
- Windows 11 23H2 supported processors

Windows 11 23H2 compatibility check
On Windows 10, it’s possible to use the “Microsoft PC Health Check” app to confirm the system requirements. If the system configuration isn’t compatible, the app will give you details of the components that are not compatible.
To check if your Windows 10 computer will run Windows 11 23H2, use these steps:
-
Open PC Health Check page.
-
Under the “Check for compatibility” section, click the “Download PC Health Check app” button.
-
Double-click the WindowsPCHealthCheckSetup.msi file.
-
Click the “I accept the terms in the License Agreement” option.
-
Click the Install button.
-
Check the “Open Windows PC Health Check” option.
-
Click the Finish button.
-
Under the “Introducing Windows 11” section, click the Check now button.
-
(Optional) Click the “See all results” button to view a list of the components that passed the compatibility.
-
(Optional) Click the Device specifications button to understand the system requirements better.
Once you complete the steps, if the hardware is compatible, you will receive a message confirming you can upgrade to Windows 11 23H2 from Windows 10. If the hardware does not pass the check, you’ll receive a message detailing why the device can run the operating system.
Windows 11 23H2 enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot
On Windows 11, one of the most important requirements is the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 and Secure Boot because they’re required for security and to prevent threats against hardware and firmware, common malware, ransomware, and other attacks.
The following information only applies to users with devices running Windows 10 and planning to upgrade to Windows 11.
Check for TPM 2.0
To determine if TPM is enabled on the computer, use these steps:
-
Open Start.
-
Search for tpm.msc and click the top result to open the “Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Management” tool.
-
In the “Status and TPM Manufacturer Information” section, confirm TPM is present and version.
You’ll see the hardware information and its status if the device includes TPM. Otherwise, if it reads “Compatible TPM cannot be found,” the chip is disabled on the UEFI, or the computer doesn’t have the module.
Enable TPM 2.0 inside UEFI
To enable TPM 2.0 on Windows 10 for Windows 11 23H2, use these steps:
-
Open Settings.
-
Click on Update & Security.
-
Click on Recovery.
-
Under the “Advanced startup” section, click the Restart now button.
-
Click on Troubleshoot.
-
Click on Advanced options.
-
Click the “UEFI Firmware settings” option.
-
Click the Restart button.
-
Click the advanced, security, or boot settings page, depending on the motherboard.
-
Select the TPM 2.0 option and choose the Enabled option.
If the motherboard doesn’t have a TPM chip and you are running an AMD processor, the module is likely built into the processor, and the option will be available as “fTPM” (firmware-based TPM 2.0) or “AMD fTPM switch.” If the device is an Intel-based system, TPM will be available as Platform Trust Technology (PTT).
In the case that the computer doesn’t have a TPM option and this is a custom build, you may be able to purchase a module to add the support. However, consult the manufacturer’s website to confirm that the support exists.
After you complete the steps, the Windows 11 check should pass, allowing you to upgrade the computer to the new OS.
Check for Secure Boot
To determine whether Secure Boot is enabled to install Windows 11 23H2, use these steps:
-
Open Start.
-
Search for System Information and click the top result to open the app.
-
Click on System Summary on the left pane.
-
Check the “Secure Boot State” information and confirm the feature is set to “On.” If it’s not, you need to enable the option manually.
Once you complete the steps, you may be able to install the Windows 11 2023 Update. Otherwise, follow the steps to enable it inside the motherboard’s firmware.
Enable Secure Boot for Windows 11
If the device uses the legacy BIOS, you must convert the MBR drive to GPT, switch to UEFI mode, and enable Secure Boot. Otherwise, the computer won’t boot. If you attempt to perform a clean installation, you can skip the convention, but this is a requirement to upgrade from Windows 10.
To enable Secure Boot to install Windows 11 23H2, use these steps:
-
Open Settings.
-
Click on Update & Security.
-
Click on Recovery.
-
Under the “Advanced startup” section, click the Restart now button.
-
Click on Troubleshoot.
-
Click on Advanced options.
-
Click the “UEFI Firmware settings” option.
-
Click the Restart button.
-
Click the advanced, security, or boot settings page, depending on the motherboard.
-
Select the “Secure Boot” option and choose the Enabled option.
After you complete the steps, the device should pass the hardware verification to perform an in-place upgrade or clean install of Windows 11 23H2.

Microsoft опубликовала минимальные системные требования для ПК и список поддерживаемых процессоров для Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 (Long-Term Servicing Channel, канал долгосрочного обслуживания) на базе версии Windows 11 24H2.
Примечательно, что Microsoft в качестве предпочитаемого минимального системного требования добавила необходимость использования SSD. В опциональном варианте всё же остаётся возможность установки HDD, Hybrid Hard Drive (SSHD) или флэш-накопителя (eMMC, SD, USB)
В список поддерживаемых процессоров Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 входят современные чипы Intel, AMD, Qualcomm и NXP (i.MX 9). ПК с процессорами без полноценной поддержки набора инструкций SSE4.2 работать в этой версии ОС не будут.
В середине февраля 2024 года в новой тестовой сборке Windows 11 24H2 build 26058 Microsoft подтвердила в требованиях к процессору поддержку инструкции PopCnt (Population count — count number of bits set to 1, входит в набор SSE4.2 в Intel или Advanced Bit Manipulation (ABM) для AMD), которой нет в старых CPU. При попытке загрузить Windows 11 24H2 на ПК с процессором без поддержки инструкции PopCnt, система не запускается, а зависает на экране загрузки с логотипом Windows.
Процессоры AMD поддерживают инструкцию PopCnt с 2006 года после выпуска архитектуры Barcelona, Intel добавила поддержку PopCnt в микроархитектуре Nehalem в 2008 году (в первое поколение серии Core i). Например, в ПК на AMD Turion II и Intel Core 2 Duo нет такой инструкции, и запуск новой версии Windows 11 на них будет недоступен, если не будет найден обходной путь для этого ограничения.
Ранее обнаруженный обходной путь с выбором установки для IoT Enterprise LTSCтакже перестал работать. Фактически это означает, что Windows 11 24H2 нельзя будет запустить на Intel Core 2 Duo, на AMD Athlon (включая AMD Opteron Barcelona с поддержкой SSE4a) и пользователям со старыми процессорами придётся покупать новый ПК для установки сборок новой версии ОС на базе версии Windows 11 24H2 и новее. Например, Windows 11 24H2 не получится запустить на ПК с Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650, но система заработает на Celeron J4005.
