Preparing for Insider Preview Builds of Windows 11 - ***UPDATED 6/28***

Hello ,

I'm currently on the Windows Insider program Dev channel, and while looking for a build,

I have this comment: "your PC does not meet the minimum recommended hardware configuration for Windows 11 ...."

Except it corresponds completely ... is there a way to solve this problem?

thank you in advance

Have read this entire thing.  MS, you have a problem.  First, EVERYTHING this thread says is required I have, but still get the message.  Second, I have went through all the various forms of voodoo here and still fail both the PC Health Check and get the Insider message.  Third, PC Health Check tells me I am running version 2009, when I know darned well I am on a dev build of 21H2.  Fourth, is this really trying to say that ALL the various things needed for all the new features has to be present?  If so, conspiracy theorists are going to immediately scream "all this is just an excuse to appease OEMs and sell new hardware" or "doesn't Apple do this"!

What would help is something like the PC Health Check that was ACCURATE -and WOULD TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT IS "WRONG".  That way it can be addressed.  The current process (as all these threads show) will especially drive people who built their PCs (thus no "OEM" to contact) crazy!

Not good, MS.  But given the glitches I had watching the Windows 10 unveiling not surprised.

But they haven't mentioned any 4th , 5th, 6th or 7th gen CPUs in their compatibility list

Generation is a soft floor requirement.

Compatibility for Windows 11- Compatibility Cookbook | Microsoft Docs

There are new minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. In order to run Windows 11, devices must meet the following specifications. Devices that do not meet the hard floor cannot be upgraded to Windows 11, and devices that meet the soft floor will receive a notification that upgrade is not advised.

Hard Floor:

• CPU: Core >= 2 and Speed >= 1 GHz
• System Memory: TotalPhysicalRam >= 4 GB
• Storage: 64 GB
• Security: TPM Version >= 1.2 and SecureBootCapable = True
• Smode: Smode is false, or Smode is true and C_ossku in (0x65, 0x64, 0x63, 0x6D, 0x6F, 0x73, 0x74, 0x71)

Soft Floor:

• Security: TPMVersion >= 2.0
• CPU Generation

My BIOS / Motherboard has not TPM (Trusted Platform Module) to be enable !

TPM 1.2 or 2.0 will not alleviate the problem!

Everything is enabled it just seems my CPU is not on the supported list. I'll wait for the beta build

Processor requirement is a soft floor requirement. Windows 11 would work, but with a warning and doubt on long-term compatibility. Even Windows 10 asks you to use 5th gen+ devices, but it works fine on older generations too.
