We've known about the Windows xi system requirements since June, and they generated an awful lot of confusion at the time. Specially since Microsoft was only supporting fairly new Intel processors. Well, Asus may have the solution.

Asus announce it will exist working on new firmware for some older Intel hardware, which will permit Windows eleven to exist installed on laptops and PCs with older chips (via Windows Latest). This would, in effect, bypassing the original system requirements laid out by Microsoft.

• Windows 11 could exist fashion faster than Windows 10 — here'southward how
• Windows 11 organization requirements — check to see if your PC tin can run the new Os
• Plus:Intel's showtime Alchemist graphics card could battle Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070

A note on Asus's STRIX Z270F motherboard changelog details that the hardware will "support Windows eleven by default, with no settings changes required in the UEFI BIOS." And it's not the only one, with the BIOS 1501 for MAXIMUS IX FORMULA changelog likewise confirming that Windows 11 support is in the works.

In fact, it seems that Asus has plans to support a number of 6th and seventh generation Intel processors, which is a neat affair. It means users with hardware that technically isn't supported past the new Os, but withal perfectly capable, would then exist able to upgrade to Windows xi. And all without having to get out and buy new hardware, or endeavour to install the new operating organisation in an unofficial chapters.

Microsoft has said that it's possible older Intel hardware will still be able to (unofficially) run Windows 11. Withal, this would crave the new Os to exist downloaded with tools like the Media Creation Tool, which may be beyond the technical ability of some people. What'south more than, Microsoft won't be offer support for whatever performance issues experienced when running Windows 11 on older hardware.

Asus has been quick to bespeak out that this is notwithstanding a "beta BIOS version of the motherboard which is still undergoing concluding testing before its official release." Then it's not quite ready still, and means users of older hardware need a trivial bit more patience before they can ditch Windows ten.

But just because Asus is testing Windows eleven on older hardware, doesn't mean other hardware manufacturers are going to do the same. Also, there'southward no telling just how well the operating system will perform on ageing hardware, updates or not. We're just going to have to wait and come across what happens when Windows 11 is officially released on October v.
