Intel 8th, 9th and 10th Gen processors absent from Microsoft's Windows 11 24H2 CPU support list


Decision may be related to Intel's move of 7th-10th Gen iGPUs to a legacy support model in December.

When the first version of Windows 11 went official users were surprised to see many serviceable Intel CPUs, the 7 th Gen Kaby Lake series and older, left unsupported. The Core i9-10900K with 10C/20T and a boost as high as 5.3 GHz seems far too virile to be put to pasture when a Celeron 6305 2C/2T Tiger Lake chip (also launched in 2020), for example, makes the Windows 11 version 24H2 official support list. Meanwhile, folk rocking PC systems running AMD processors will see that Ryzen 8000 chips have been added to the official Windows 11 support list (for 24H2) for the first time.
