In the early morning of April 27, Microsoft’s official design team showed off the new job administrator under development on YouTube’s live broadcast. In the live broadcast, the official computer uses the Intel i7-7660U processor, but the Intel i7-7660U processor is not in Microsoft’s “Intel processors supported by Windows 11” list, which has attracted the attention and discussion of some netizens. When Windows 11 was first launched, Microsoft had set an upgrade threshold, which not only required the device to support TPM 2.0, but also restricted the processor of the device.
The official staff’s computer uses an Intel i7-7660U processor, which means that Microsoft’s official staff is using a computer that theoretically cannot be upgraded to Windows 11 to demonstrate the new features of Windows 11.
In fact, Microsoft has always emphasized that running Windows 11 may have problems on non-standard devices, but there have been many users who have upgraded the new system by bypassing the inspection in various ways. However, there are exceptions. There was a blogger who successfully installed Windows 11 on a 2006 iMac and it ran normally.
Now that officials are openly running Windows 11 on non-standard devices, it’s a little embarrassing that Microsoft has added hardware limits to ensure stability.
