Incredibly bad blog post in my eyes to clear up the confusion about the system requirements, especially the Intel 8th gen & zen+ and newer requirement.<p>>As we release to Windows Insiders and partner with our OEMs, we will test to identify devices running on Intel 7th generation and AMD Zen 1 that may meet our principles.<p>At least they left the door open to just end up opening it up for those CPUs anyways, because it seems like there was no real reason for that requirement. Probably realized that they still sell hardware that doesn't meet the requirement.<p>What a communication nightmare.<p>Edit:
You can't make this up. According to multiple comments in a reddit thread [1], including quotes there, this same blog post here included a claim first that 6th gen & AMD pre-zen will never be supported. This was removed.<p>No idea what Microsoft is doing there.<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/o9oqha/update_on_windows_11_minimum_system_requirements/h3c9xsc/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/o9oqha/update_on...</a>
