Full Spacefiction For Windows 11 Nd How Many Requirements you PC.

Windows 11

▪️The minimum hardware requirements for Microsoft’s next OS will leave many PCs stranded.

Process:-

           ▪️To run Windows 11, devices must have an Intel Core processor from a minimum of 2017, or AMD Zen 2 processors from 2019 onward. They'll also need a minimum of 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of disk drive storage. Microsoft's own $3,500 Surface Studio 2 desktop, which you'll buy new from the corporate immediately , doesn't make the cut under these requirements. Microsoft remains exploring the likelihood that slightly older chips will make the cut, but either way, you will need a reasonably recent device to upgrade your OS .

Vision:-

      Microsoft features a clear vision for a way to assist protect our customers now and within the future and that we know our approach works,” David Weston, Microsoft director of enterprise and OS security, wrote on Friday. “We are      Windows 11 to boost security baselines with new hardware security requirements built-in.”

▪️That baseline appears to depend on a Trusted Platform Module, or TPM 2.0 chip, a component Microsoft has required altogether new Windows devices since 2016. But not all devices that contain a TPM 2.0 chip even have it enabled, and therefore the process of activating it's technical and involved when it‘s doable in the least . Microsoft or individual PC manufacturers would likely got to offer free, in-person assistance to form it feasible for many customers, both individuals and businesses, to enable latent TPM and other features like Secure Boot. Plus, some current device models that you simply can buy today still don't include TPM 2.0s, just because they have been manufactured since before the need went into place.

 

By tying Windows 11 availability thereto specific hardware feature, Microsoft may leave many devices even more vulnerable within the end of the day . those that can't update to Windows 11 will still have Windows 10, but not forever. Microsoft plans to finish support for its 2015 operating system—currently installed on 79 percent of Windows devices worldwide, consistent with analytics site Stat Counter—on October 14, 2025. which will mean no more security patches for the massive population of devices that can't transition onto Windows 11.

▪️While Microsoft may hope that the majority people will have bought a replacement , Windows 11-capable PC by then, the horror of the decade-long Windows XP migration remains fresh within the security community's memory. Security vulnerabilities discovered in XP after Microsoft stopped supporting it created gaping holes for the many devices that never upgraded to Windows 7 or beyond. In fact, StatCounter shows that a full 20 years since its initial release, and after numerous industry-wide upgrade efforts, quite half a percent of Windows devices still run XP.

“The first large vulnerability after Windows 10 end-of-life will cause chaos and put customers during a hard place,” says Marcin Kleczynski, CEO of the antivirus firm Malwarebytes. “Microsoft has the responsibility to guard their customers. If half are still on Windows 10, will they leave them bent dry?”

▪️Microsoft declined to discuss the record to WIRED about its vision for the transition or the potential for Windows 10 to become a ticking time bomb. during a blog post on Tuesday, the corporate acknowledged confusion and concern about which devices are going to be eligible for the upgrade.

 “It's not a surprising move by Microsoft; trusted boot and TP Ms offer significant advantages,” says Jake Williams, chief technology officer of the incident response firm Breach Quest. “However, I'm still working with customers who have significant investments in legacy hardware. they will not be ready to make a financial justification for brand spanking new hardware simply to run Windows 11. Most won't prefer to buy extended support either, leaving them with vulnerable machines until some catalyst forces them to upgrade.”
