The Updated System Requirements for Windows 11

Microsoft has recently made significant updates to the system requirements for Windows 11. This update aims to ensure a smoother and better performance of the operating system on modern PCs. However, with the new system requirements, several older-generation Intel CPUs are no longer compatible with Windows 11. In this article, we will provide a list of the affected Intel CPUs and discuss the implications of these changes.

Intel CPUs That Don’t Support Windows 11 Anymore

Microsoft’s update to the system requirements means that they will drop support for various older-generation Intel CPUs. One major group affected by this change is the Intel’s 8th-Gen Xeon processors, as reported by Neowin.net. While this change may not impact most users, it is crucial for those who are using the affected CPUs to be aware of the compatibility issues.

List of Intel Xeon Processors No Longer Supported

  1. Intel Xeon E-2104G
  2. Intel Xeon E-2124
  3. Intel Xeon E-2124G
  4. Intel Xeon E-2126G
  5. Intel Xeon E-2134
  6. Intel Xeon E-2136
  7. Intel Xeon E-2144G
  8. Intel Xeon E-2146G
  9. Intel Xeon E-2174G
  10. Intel Xeon E-2176G
  11. Intel Xeon E-2176M
  12. Intel Xeon E-2186G
  13. Intel Xeon E-2186M
  14. Intel Xeon E-2224
  15. Intel Xeon E-2224G
  16. Intel Xeon E-2226G
  17. Intel Xeon E-2226GE
  18. Intel Xeon E-2234
  19. Intel Xeon E-2236
  20. Intel Xeon E-2244G
  21. Intel Xeon E-2246G
  22. Intel Xeon E-2254ME
  23. Intel Xeon E-2254ML
  24. Intel Xeon E-2274G
  25. Intel Xeon E-2276G
  26. Intel Xeon E-2276M
  27. Intel Xeon E-2276ME
  28. Intel Xeon E-2276ML
  29. Intel Xeon E-2278G
  30. Intel Xeon E-2278GE
  31. Intel Xeon E-2278GEL
  32. Intel Xeon E-2286G
  33. Intel Xeon E-2286M
  34. Intel Xeon E-2288G
  35. Intel Xeon E-2314
  36. Intel Xeon E-2324G
  37. Intel Xeon E-2334
  38. Intel Xeon E-2336
  39. Intel Xeon E-2356G
  40. Intel Xeon E-2374G
  41. Intel Xeon E-2378
  42. Intel Xeon E-2378G
  43. Intel Xeon E-2386G
  44. Intel Xeon E-2388G

It is important to note that these CPUs are primarily used in workstation-grade environments and servers. They are not part of Intel’s CPU lineup intended for regular consumers. Therefore, even if you have an older processor, the chances are that it will still work fine with Windows 11.

Additional Safeguards against Workarounds

In addition to dropping support for the aforementioned Intel Xeon CPUs, Microsoft has implemented measures to prevent installation of Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. According to a report by deskmodder.de, users are unable to use bypass methods to install Windows 11 on older systems, such as those equipped with Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs.

Looking ahead, it is possible that Microsoft will further tighten hardware restrictions in future updates to Windows (maybe with Windows 12). This could potentially result in the complete blockage of OS installation on older CPUs. To stay informed on the latest developments, you can read more about the upcoming Windows 12 update here.
