I was able to get the Windows 11 Build 22449 running on an Intel 7th generation processor. So, please ensure you have enough charge on your laptop battery. Getting the 22449.1000 build of Windows 11 is a time consuming task.
#I3 7TH GENERATION PROCESSOR UPDATE#
Together with Windows 11 build, I downloaded these 3 driver and system update files. On a similar note, I also get the Realtek – Net – 10.36.701.2019.Intel chipset display driver -26.20.100.7156 and an,.While on Windows 10 on a system that is not supported for Windows 11, I am able to download the latest Windows 11 build version 22449.100 (rs_prerelease).Īlongside this download, I also get new driver files for But, I am willing to take the bait and see if updating Windows 10 to Windows 11 on an unsupported PC causes any issues to my working. This also provides me a clue that I can update Windows 10 to Windows 11 on an unsupported system.
#I3 7TH GENERATION PROCESSOR INSTALL#
It their own tests, Microsoft mentioned that systems and processors that were incompatible with Windows 11 reported a crash rate of 52% when Windows 11 was install on such systems. I am guessing that the larger issue of Intel 7th generation processors’ incompatibility with Windows 11 is on account of Intel’s software that does not offer the hardware security benchmarks required by Windows 11 for flawless functioning. Does this mean that Intel can release a patch to bolster hardware based security and help make the Intel i3-7100 compatible with Windows 11? Or, could it be one of the driver software that do not conform to the hardware security standards required by Windows 11?.So, I am guessing that this has got to be some sort of a security issue with the Intel 7th generation chipset. UEFI is enabled, secure boot is supported, TPM 2.0 is supported.And, when I checked the Control Panel -> System -> Device Security, I get a note on my Windows 10 system that states – Standard hardware security not supported.One thing that I did note is that the Windows update mentioned that the device is not compatible with Windows 11. This includes the TPM 2.0 and Secure boot. All other checks by the PC Health Check app are positive and compatible with Windows 11. The last update on this system was 21H1, which is a feature update for Windows 10 based systems. It has an i3-7100 processor, and is marked as non-supported for Windows 11 by Microsoft. One of my systems that is less than 3 years old is an Intel 7th generation. So, please check Microsoft’s compatible CPU list from this link – This list may change and include more processors at a later date. The 7th gen Intel processors that are compatible with Windows 11 are: Not all Intel 7th generation processors are compatible with Windows 11.
