https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/windows-11/Yes, but for the 1st round of Insider builds they are using the soft floor I believe, and that's what is blocking so many people from getting on the Insider Dev Channel in settings.

2021-06-25T10:25:45+00:00 Looking over my PC to ensure I meet the requirements for W11 but I'm having issues.
I have Secure Boot and TPM enabled in the BIOS (tpm.msc also confirmed it is ready for use).
- TPM is 2.0
- DirectX 12
- 64 Bit system
- Clock speed is 3 Ghz
- RAM is 8 GB
- 403 GB storage currently free
I think the only requirement I'm failing on is that I have a 7th Gen processor (Core i5-7400).
That's just barely below the requirement.
I know this is probably a sticking point for Microsoft, but I feel like my system should be able to run W11 just fine.
I guess I'll have to upgrade just to install the new OS.

Although your CPU should run Win 11 ok at release, for the Insider Dev Channel, the 1st build is targeted for the soft requirements in regards to CPU, this means 8th Gen Intel or higher, and 2nd Gen Ryzen or higher, at least for now.
When they update the PC Health Check app at some point, Hardware detection should improve, and hopefully, we will get more info on what exactly Microsoft doesn't like with our setups.
