    I wander where you read it; I am in the dev channel, but I regret to say that what you write is not true. I just had the same message you are referring to.

    If you were in the dev channel prior to the 24th June and remained there, you can upgrade to windows 11 even if the device does not meet the currently published specs. Microsoft will monitor the performance on unsupported CPUs but may not fix problems experienced by users of these devices.

    To join the Dev channel after 24th June and upgrade to Windows 11, the device must meet the currently published specs.

    I have a HPZ2 Mini G3 with Xeon skylake processor, 32GB ram, Nvidia Quadro M620 GPU with windows 10 pro for workstation. But it keeps telling me that i do not meet minimum requirements. TPM module is 2.0 with Secure boot on. What could be the issue?

    You write that the processor must meet the following requirements: Processor:

    1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC)

    My processor meets these requirements, it's just a Core i7-6700, so I don't understand why you're just focusing on newer types of processors.
