Microsoft уточнила минимальные системные требования для Windows 11

Microsoft опубликовала новый пост в блоге Windows и уточнила минимальные системные требования для Windows 11

Из сообщения становится понятно, что процессоры Intel 6-го поколения (Skylake) и более ранние, а также процессоры AMD, отличные от Zen, не будут соответствовать «принципам безопасности и надежности и минимальным системным требованиям для Windows 11». Это согласуется с первоначальным заявлением компании о том, что для Windows 11 потребуются процессоры Intel 8-го поколения (Coffee Lake) или Zen+ и выше

Что же касается Intel 7-го поколения (Kaby Lake) и AMD Zen 1, то компания планирует проанализировать данные, чтобы понять, получат ли пользователи этих процессоров ту производительность, стабильность и безопасность, которую хотят видеть в компании. Таким образом, эти процессоры вполне могут появиться в списке поддерживаемых в будущем.

Why new Windows 11 minimum system requirements

Windows 11 is designed and built as a complete set of experiences, unlocking the full power of the PC our customers have come to rely on, including in areas like security, reliability, compatibility, video conferencing, multitasking, playing, creating, building, learning and more. We need a minimum system requirement that enables us to adapt software and hardware to keep pace with people’s expectations, needs and harness the true value and power of the PC to deliver the best experiences, now and in the future. To do that, we were guided by the following principles:

1. Security. Windows 11 raises the bar for security by requiring hardware that can enable protections like Windows Hello, Device Encryption, virtualization-based security (VBS), hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI) and Secure Boot. The combination of these features has been shown to reduce malware by 60% on tested devices. To meet the principle, all Windows 11 supported CPUs have an embedded TPM, support secure boot, and support VBS and specific VBS capabilities.
2. Reliability. Devices upgraded to Windows 11 will be in a supported and reliable state. By choosing CPUs that have adopted the new Windows Driver model and are supported by our OEM and silicon partners who are achieving a 99.8% crash free experience.
3. Compatibility. Windows 11 is designed to be compatible with the apps you use. It has the fundamentals of >1GHz, 2-core processors, 4GB memory, and 64GB of storage, aligning with our minimum system requirements for Office and Microsoft Teams.

Using the principles above, we are confident that devices running on Intel 8th generation processors and AMD Zen 2 as well as Qualcomm 7 and 8 Series will meet our principles around security and reliability and minimum system requirements for Windows 11. As we release to Windows Insiders and partner with our OEMs, we will test to identify devices running on Intel 7th generation and AMD Zen 1 that may meet our principles. We’re committed to sharing updates with you on the results of our testing over time, as well as sharing additional technical blogs.
