According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows-hardware\/design\/minimum\/windows-processor-requirements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">documentation<\/a>, Windows 11 will only support Intel Core 8th Gen and higher processors, in addition to some Pentium, Atom, Celeron, and Xeon CPUs.<\/p>\n<p>Windows 11 will also support AMD Ryzen second-generation (including Threadripper) and newer processors, alongside some EPYC and Athlon CPUs.
