All that talk about ensuring compatibility ignores devices that are not compatible with Windows 11, because of Microsoft's requirements. Windows 11 changes that, and the decision will block a lot of systems from upgrading to Windows 11. Windows 10, released 6 years after Windows 7, has the same minimum requirements. Windows 7, for example, required a 1 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage space and a DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 at the minimum. System requirements did not really change all that much from Windows release to Windows release. The list of processors added in the update is small, and while it means that some of Microsoft's own Surface devices are now compatible with Windows 11, it still blocks a lot of devices from being upgraded to Windows 11 using Windows Update (including my trusted Surface Go device). Windows customers who hoped that Microsoft would add all 7th generation CPUs to the list of compatible processors will be disappointed by Microsoft's announcement. Microsoft plans to make it available to the general public in the coming weeks. Windows Insiders can download the updated PC Health Check application already.
