However, Microsoft has alleviated this slightly strict CPU requirements, as Microsoft has become anxious about the user, with the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview.Specifically, it was revealed that the criteria for slices would be eased into Intel, AMD, one generation of CPUs, the 7th generation Core, the first Ryzen.Other conditions, requirements such as TPM and secure boot are applied as before.
| 【表】Windows 11のGA版におけるハードウェア要件 | |
|---|---|
| プロセッサ | 1GHz以上で2コア以上の64bit互換プロセッサまたはSoC(Intelなら第7世代Core以降、AMDなら初代Ryzen以降) |
| メモリ | 4GB以上 |
| ストレージ | 64GB以上 |
| システムファームウェア | セキュアブート対応 |
| TPM | TPM 2.0 |
| ビデオカード | DirectX 12以上(WDDM 2.0に対応) |
| ディスプレイ | 9型以上で8bitカラーの720pディスプレイ以上 |
This new requirement is applied when Windows 11 becomes GA (General Availability, general provision).
Regarding Insider Preview, the requirements for CPU and TPM are used for Microsoft accounts and corporate/school accounts that have been registered on Windows Insiders even once by June 24.Exceptionally relaxed.
This easing is only during Insider Preview, and the standards that Microsoft are currently published on the website for Release Preview and GA will be applied.
Since the announcement on June 24, US time, it has been a very fast movement for Microsoft, a giant company, and has been more reacted than expected by Microsoft.I guess it was done.
