Windows 11 is a completely new version of Windows that Microsoft launched on June 24, 2021. At this time, many people have asked the question: What computer configuration is required for Windows 11? What is the minimum configuration to install Windows 11?
In this article, Quantrimang.com will answer your questions about Windows 11 installation configuration.
After launching Windows 11, Microsoft also announced the minimum configuration of Windows 11. Due to supporting many types of devices, the configuration details to meet Windows 11 are very complicated.
Windows 11 minimum hardware requirements
If your PC is a few years old, there's a good chance it won't be able to run Windows 11. Microsoft's website lists the following basic hardware requirements. The company makes it clear that Windows users may need to upgrade their PCs if they don't meet the requirements.
Warning : While Microsoft claims that you can run Windows 11 on systems that support at least TPM 1.2 by bypassing the TPM 2.0 check, the company actually recommends against going that route.
How to check Windows 11 compatibility
Not everyone knows what hardware they have inside their computer. Fortunately, Microsoft provides a handy tool to check if your PC meets the minimum requirements for Windows 11. To determine if your computer can run Windows 11, please refer to the following article:
Windows 11 Recommended Configuration
Microsoft does not provide a recommended configuration for Windows 11, but according to Quantrimang, to run Windows 11 smoothly, you need to configure your computer as follows:
In addition, Windows 11 also has some features that require corresponding hardware to be activated such as 5G connection, Auto HDR, Bit Locker go Go, Client Hyper-V.
Windows 11 doesn't really need TPM 2.0
On the Windows 11 introduction page, the software giant states that the minimum configuration to run Windows 11 is to have TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 2.0. This new version of TPM has just been released, so most computers released before 2017 will not have it.
However, on its internal page, Microsoft divides the minimum configuration to install Windows 11 into 2 floors: Hard Floor and Soft Floor. Devices that do not meet Hard Floor will not be able to install or update to Windows 11. Meanwhile, computers that do not meet Soft Floor will receive a recommendation not to install or update but can still install and update normally.
In the Hard Floor section, the requirement to install Windows 11 is only to have TMP 1.2 combined with SecureBootCapable. The TPM 2.0 requirement is in the Soft Floor section.
