Microsoft updated its support document in mid-February 2025 to list Intel processors compatible with Windows 11 24H2, including several 8th, 9th, and 10th-generation Intel processors excluded.
The aforementioned Intel CPUs were launched some eight years ago; however, many of them still work okay up to this day and are compatible with Windows 11 as long as their motherboards sport the TPM 2.0 requirement. The company said that these processor models meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. Aside from that, it also said, “Subsequently released and future generations of processors which meet the same principles will be considered as supported, even if not explicitly listed.”
