***UPDATE***
For users who are receiving the following message in your Windows Insider Settings:
Your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. Your device may continue to receive Insider Preview builds until Windows 11 is generally available, at which time it is recommended to clean install to Windows 10.
We've made an update to Settings to resolve some issues. Please reboot your device to ensure you have the latest update.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
The requirement
| Display: | High definition (720p) display that is greater than 9” diagonally, 8 bits per color channel |
|---|
Please explain this, even though I set to 32 bit, the display information is still 6 bit depth?
I'm 100% sure I've met all other requirements.
And one more question, so if my PC is not compatible with Windows 11, will I still be able to get the beta build next week? (and then get removed when the official build rolling out?)
Thank you!
I REALLY don't want to be forced to go back to Windows 10 when Windows 11 releases... please Microsoft, you're going to lose a lot of your customers this way!
I have a 6700HQ, which easily meets the minimum requirements, but is not on the list of supported processors. Why is there an arbitrary list of supported processors? it doesnt make sense to exclude a processor that is certainty capable of running the new OS.
I was unable to find out why my PC was not being supported for windows 11, I have a TPM 2.0, DirectX 12, 16GB of Ram, 256GB NVMe drive, Secure Boot is enable , Bios is UEFI , 1080p display. The Processor is a 4 core 8 thread CPU at 2.6GHz, so why is it not on the list? please provide details

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/windows-11/ Head on to this if your PC meets all the requirement except the CPU ( 8 gen or above ) you will not have an issue when it officially launched as this article discuss
it can be because u dont have the TPM and the UEFI SECURE BOOT enabled on the bios of ur motherboard, so u have to go to the BIOS and then go to "Advanced" then "CPU Configuration" and turn on the TPM option after that to enable the UEFI SECURO BOOT , u have to go to "Tools" and then i must appear an option of "Secure Boot" or "UEFI" or something similar, u have to enable secure boot, and if there is an option called "OS" something, u have to put it in "Windows UEFI", the Save and exit and thats all, Hope I Helped.
I don't know for sure, but this link implies yes if the incompatibility is only the CPU: Compatibility for Windows 11- Compatibility Cookbook | Microsoft Docs
I'm hoping this is correct.
