Intel 8th and 10th generation chips not included in the Windows 11 24H2 compatibility list
Intel 8th and 10th generation chips not included in the Windows 11 24H2 compatibility list
In simpler terms, if it worked well at 23:00, it’s probably okay at 24:00 too—just because it wasn’t included in the list doesn’t mean it won’t work then.
My system is a 7920X and I recently got it updated to 24H2, which prevents Microsoft from stopping push installs on older versions.
The article has been revised since the list of supported CPUs was limited to OEMs only. This likely indicates that OEMs won’t be able to run 24H2 on older systems as new installations or disk images. That’s acceptable. The key point is these are iGPU-only models where Intel stops providing drivers. My perspective here is that Microsoft seems unlikely to release an update for hardware they didn’t originally support. This isn’t unusual—Apple also avoids updating macOS to newer versions unless the device already meets certain standards. It feels arbitrary when the requirements for Windows 11 essentially match those of previous versions, except for the TPM condition. Even with TPM present, upgrades won’t happen unless the CPU meets the necessary specifications. This isn’t really a demand from end users; it’s more about OEMs like Dell and HP making their own decisions.
