Windows 11 still requires 8th generation or later just like before. 7th generation has SSE4.2 so should run for now with the overrides to allow on unsupported hardware. Maybe you were looking at the capatability list for Windows 10.

I currently have a Dell Inspiron 15 7559. My machine is from the 2016-2017 era and I purchased it with Windows 10 preinstalled in 2018. I would love to hear that this machine would continue to be supported with windows 11. Below are my system specs, in the event this helps the team to consider older cpu types and the idea that it's more than capable of handing it. I have tested an early build of windows 11 and noticed it ran well. Eventually I reverted back since it was clear no updates were supported. My system ran better in most cases than windows 10. Back in the old days, I understand system processors needed to have certain instruction sets to execute various machine level instructions (SSE, SSE2, etc). I thought many of the instructions used today, in modern intel cpu architecture, were first implemented in the 6th series. Yet there's a hardcore cap set at 8th gen, and nothing older. An 8th gen that may have the same number of cores/threads and same other requirements such as secure boot and TPM 2.0.

Attached is a screenshot of a Win 11 (non Microsoft) assessment tool. As you can see, the only thing holding my system back is the cpu gen. Also attached is System Information generated from Win 10 on my system. I have removed sensitive information from this such as machine name/user name.

Hello
I have great news for you if your motherboard is compatible with windows11 - then I think you just need to replace the processor with a newer one and everything will work great .
Greetings.

How often do you buy a car and then change the engine in it, shortly after buying it? If you think this question is absurd then you clearly know what I think of this. I shouldn't have to change my cpu to meet Microsoft's requirements. Also I can't swap an AMD processor into an Intel slot. This isn't a lego piece.

I have literally seen something such as this on a MS forum before. We are heading down a dark path where every couple of years our hardware will be forced into obsolescence. Rather that allowing the consumer to decide. You might just find Linux popularity increase over time with windows popularity decreasing if you decide these hard limits. I'm willing to go all linux. Funny thing is, I could even get by with a windows vm inside the linux environment.

I understand your frustration, - my computers also do not meet the requirements for Windpws11, but as users we have to adapt , or change the system.
I think Microsoft has surprised millions of users with these requirements.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint includes next-generation protection to catch and block all types of emerging threats. The majority of modern malware is polymorphic, meaning it constantly mutates to evade detection. As soon as one variant is identified, another takes its place. This rapid evolution underscores the need for agile and innovative security solutions.

Next-generation protections, such as Microsoft Defender Antivirus blocks malware using local and cloud-based machine learning models, behavior analysis, and heuristics. Microsoft Defender Antivirus uses predictive technologies, machine learning, applied science, and artificial intelligence to detect and block malware at the first sign of abnormal behavior.

Next-generation protection is included in both Defender for Endpoint Plan 1 and Plan 2. Next-generation protection is also included in Microsoft Defender for Business and Microsoft 365 Business Premium.

Performance tip Due to a variety of factors (examples listed below) Microsoft Defender Antivirus, like other antivirus software, can cause performance issues on endpoint devices. In some cases, you might need to tune the performance of Microsoft Defender Antivirus to alleviate those performance issues. Microsoft's Performance analyzer is a PowerShell command-line tool that helps determine which files, file paths, processes, and file extensions might be causing performance issues; some examples are:

P.s. I checked Intel support documentation and they say windows 10 only supports 3rd generation core and up. But that is not correct because I used first generation core for about five plus years. Windows documentation said I think generation 5 and up only.

Third Generation works directly with the homeowner without the time consuming, high pressure sales pitch compared to the big-name companies. Third Generation sells and installs Simonton, Atrium vinyl windows, Precision Millworks PVC windows; both full frame and sash kits. In addition, they sell and install Therma Tru and Maxcraft doors.

I have successfully paired my AirPods (2nd Gen) Pro with my desktop computer running Windows 10 and mic worked fine over bluetooth. But when pairing with my Dell Latitude 5421 with Windows 11, I get audio fine and it shows me the AirPods as an audio input, but no signal. I have tried removing/re-adding, checking to ensure drivers are up to date, levels are up, etc., but still nothing. Anyone else with a similar problem? Other things I can check?

Hi, a month and a half later - the issue persists. Does someone succeed in solving it? I bought Airpods Pro Gen2 because of its excellent Mic performance for conference calls. But, unfortunately, I can't use them from my Windows 11 Dell laptop for work.

I found a solution where I wait a little bit before I hit the "Airpods Pro find my" pairing in the windows find new Bluetooth device. At first it shows as "headphone audio" only, but then I wait for it to identify as Airpods Pro find my and it detects the headset and headphones options.

I have this same issue as well. Brand new Airpods Pro 2 with Dell Latitude laptop running Windows 11. I tried following all of the steps mentioned herein as well as on other site, i.e. removing Airpods from Windows Device Manager, Windows Bluetooth > Paired Devices, resetting Airpods Pro 2, rebooting pc and then pairing afresh. It works each time I do this, but only for that session on the pc. The moment I reboot it, the problem recurs.

It is extremely frustrating having to do this every single time upon restart. My system is fully up-to-date with all Windows Updates + Dell Drivers/Bios/System Updates. So far it doesn't appear that there has been a solution released by Windows/Apple.

The best step forward would be to reach out to Apple Support directly. They can be contacted here: Get Support, or by calling the most applicable phone number from this list: Contact Apple for support and service.

AirPods can be associated with one Apple ID. If you want to use AirPods (3rd generation) or AirPods Pro (1st or 2nd generation) that someone else has used, they first need to remove the AirPods from their Apple ID."

Just to provide some additional detail... on my Windows 10 machine the bluetooth driver is using Microsoft Version 10.0.19041.1 and it is working as you'd expect; however, on my Windows 11 machine it is using Microsoft Version 10.0.22621.1 which is not working.

This sounds great, thank you. I have installed the new Windows updates, but please explain how you "removed AirPopds Pro drivers" after that.... I see three drivers in Device Manager: Headphones (My AirPods Pro), Headset (My AirPods Pro Hands-Free) and Headset (My AirPods Pro). Which did you delete?

I am no longer trying to get the mic to work, as my research suggests that if the mic is operational, the sound quality will be poor - and that this is a limitation of Bluetooth that can't be fixed. Someone tell me if that's wrong, but if it's right, I'll just use the laptop mic.

The AWS Windows AMIs are configured with the default settings used by the Microsoft installation media, with some customizations. The customizations include drivers and configurations that support the latest generation instance types, which are instances built on the AWS Nitro System, such as an M5 or C5.

Alternatively, you can use the AWSSupport-UpgradeWindowsAWSDrivers automation document to automate the procedures described in Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. If you choose to use the automated procedure, see (Alternative) Upgrade the AWS PV, ENA, and NVMe drivers using AWS Systems Manager, and then continue with Part 4 and Part 5.

When migrating to the latest generation instances, the static IP or custom DNS network settings on the existing ENI may be lost as the instance will default to a new Enhanced Networking Adapter device.

Before following the steps in this procedure, we recommend that you create a backup of the instance. From the EC2 console, choose the instance that requires the migration, open the context (right-click) menu, and choose Instance State, Stop.

Parts 4 and 5 of these instructions can be completed after you migrate or change the instance type to the latest generation. However, we recommend that you complete them before you migrate if you are migrating specifically to an bare metal instance type.

Though AWS PV drivers are not used in the Nitro system, you should still upgrade them if you are on previous versions of either Citrix PV or AWS PV. The latest AWS PV drivers resolve bugs in previous versions of the drivers that may appear while you are on a Nitro system, or if you need to migrate back to a Xen-based instance. As a best practice, we recommend always updating to the latest drivers for Windows instances on AWS.

Use the following procedure to perform an in-place upgrade of AWS PV drivers, or to upgrade from Citrix PV drivers to AWS PV drivers on Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2019. For more information, see Upgrade PV drivers on EC2 Windows instances.
