Qualcomm.\u00a0The last time the software giant did this was last October after the release of Windows 11 22H2.\u00a0It&#8217;s worth noting right off the bat that the system requirements for this operating system haven&#8217;t changed, so anyone hoping their outdated hardware might appear on this list is in for a disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, in the past, Microsoft mistakenly offered to upgrade to Windows 11 for users of unsupported systems.\u00a0It seems that this happened twice, and both times the company admitted its mistake.\u00a0However, people have been able to run Windows 11 22H2 on computers with unsupported hardware, and some have even been impressed with how \u201cmagically\u201d Windows 11 works on older hardware.\u00a0However, back to the official list of processors.\u00a0As for Intel, Core i9-13900KS with a clock speed of 6 GHz\u00a0<a

Ryzen 5 7600 (all on AM5).\u00a0You can also find several older generation AMD processors.\u00a0In terms of mobile options, there&#8217;s the Ryzen 5 5625U, 5625C (Chromebook version), Ryzen 3 5425U, and a handful of 7000U series models.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the list has expanded\u00a0<a
