This week the company Microsoft presented its new operating system Windows 11, which is scheduled for release in the fall of 2023. But almost immediately, the owners of computers were faced with tests.
For example, the company has released a utility to check the readiness of computers for updating. But even computers that fully meet the minimum requirements are not qualified.
As it turned out, the program checks the system for support SecureBoot (included in BIOS) and TPM 2.0 (must be supported by the motherboard). Later, Microsoft released an update (!!!) for the utility, which supposedly should solve the problem (but not for all).
But the tests do not end there. The OS works only on 64-bit systems, and to run it you need four gigabytes of RAM and a video card with support DirectX 12…
The platform holder has increased requirements for processors (Intel, AMD and Qualcomm). In particular, only CPUs are supported Intel Core from the eighth generation (Coffee lake). In the case of AMD, the architecture is indicated Zen + and newer.
Because of this, we can conclude that tablets released by Microsoft itself Surface Pro 4 and Surface Pro, as well as a very expensive candy bar Surface Studio 2 will not be able to upgrade to Windows 11.
Such a policy looks very strange against the background of the company Apple… Her operating system macOS Monterey Supports a range of devices released in 2013-2014. Windows 11 to give up on computers that came out in the region of 2017.
