In the end it’s still a software feature fixed/improved by hardware and then used to sell more PCs because otherwise capable computers would be "too slow".I’m all for security but I should be able to decide what is too slow…you’d think MS would want a larger population to be more secure and up to date. I don’t remember the details but it involved hypervisor/vm technology and sandboxing and that without a recent CPU that hardware accelerates these features, it could be 20-40% slower. The best way to do this is to run Microsoft’s PC Health Check Tool. Go to the Windows 11 Specifications page and scroll to the bottom until you see the Check for compatibility section. Click the Download PC Health Check App link and install the program. If true, I hope MS actually tells people at some point. Click the Check now button inside the app.
I’ll probably install it anyway when is more mature and doesnt actually remove features.I did see a technical reason for why 8th gen CPU posted in the comments on a story here on Thurrott a while back and it actually made sense from a technical perspective. If you’re in release preview ring you might see a message that your pc doesn’t meet the win 11 requirements and it offers a link to download the app.My surface pro 4 passes all requirements except the artificial CPU limit of 8th gen Intel.
