With the announcement of Windows 11, Microsoft also finally revealed the minimum requirements every current Windows PC should have to be able to run Windows 11. And it is not a pretty list.
The PC Health Check app from Microsoft has been breaking hearts for many Windows enthusiasts out there who were greeted with the dreaded ‘This PC can’t run Windows 11’ message when running a Windows 11 compatibility check on their systems.
If you’ve particularly received an incompatibility message about your computer’s processor not being compatible with Windows 11, and your system is fairly new, then here’s a list of Windows 11 compatible processors so you can cross-check and verify if the PC Health Check app made a mistake.
Intel CPUs Compatible with Windows 11
Intel Core chips power many Windows computers and unfortunately, a lot of those computers would be left out by Windows 11 as it requires minimum Intel 8th Gen CPUs on a system. All Intel Core processors below 7th Gen would not be supported by Windows 11.
Below is a list of all Windows 11 supported Intel processors.

Qualcomm Processors Compatible with Windows 11
Thankfully, for Qualcomm, the list of supported processors leaves out only the Snapdragon 835 chip. All other SoC processors from the manufacturer are fully supported by Windows 11.

HOT TIP: You can run Windows 11 even if your CPU isn’t supported
Although, the minimum processor requirement for Windows 11 is quite demanding, Microsoft has left room for Windows enthusiasts to get a taste of Windows 11 even if their systems don’t support it.
If you’re okay signing up for the Windows Insider Preview program, then you’d happy to know that Microsoft is allowing Windows enthusiasts and developers on the Insider Preview Dev Channel to be able to install Windows 11 even if their PC’s don’t meet the minimum system requirements.

But of course, there’s a catch. If your computer hardware is incompatible with Windows 11, then you’ll not get the Windows 11 update when it rolls out to the public later in the year. And worse, Microsoft will want you to roll back to Windows 10 when Windows 11 is public. There’d no further Windows 11 Insider Preview builds for incompatible systems once the new version of Windows is out for everyone.
However, there’s good news too, hopefully. The last Windows 11 Insider Preview build should be very stable as it’ll probably be the same build that will go into the stable channel for the public release.
Hence, in case you do NOT wish to go back to Windows 10 after the last Windows 11 developer preview build for incompatible computers, then you can probably continue using it for the long run because it’s to be very stable.
