Windows 11 24H2 to enforce hardware requirement - gHacks Tech News
Windows 11 version 24H2 may enforce a new hardware requirement that will block older processors from running the operating system.
You're viewing a single thread.
From what I've read, it only affects AMD processors from 2011 and earlier, and Intel processors from 2008 and earlier.
So... just people who bypassed the earlier TPM requirement and installed Windows 11 on those older CPUs for some reason.
Who would do this, like three people in the world?
Not having a TPM doesn't mean that old
sure, but not having POPCNT means way older than not having TPM
that's sorta what I meant
The oldest machines to support windows 11 are about years old at this point. It's OK to call them old.
Old =/= unusable/useless
Guess I'm one of the three. I did the tpm bypass on an old computer I built way back. Mostly just for fun, I don't actually use it for anything anymore.
That said, looks like the CPU is new enough (i7 950) this change won't affect it.
