That unfortunately leaves out a lot of people with machines that aren’t really that old. DirectX 12 compatible graphics, either dedicated or onboardĪt first glance, those don’t sound too bad, except that Microsoft has stated that, as of this writing, only CPU’s that are either Intel 8th Gen or AMD Ryzen 2000 series or newer will be officially supported by Windows 11.Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 (also more on that later).At least 1 GHz dual core CPU (more on that in a bit).

We’ll cover everything that’s changed in another article, but for now let’s answer the question that everyone is asking: what are the requirements for upgrading, can I upgrade, and what the heck is a TPM?
