Question Ryzen 5 2400G not compatible with Windows 11?

[jfelano]

So I ran the software thingy to check if my 2 year old Windows 10 machine was ready for the free Windows 11 upgrade only to find out my processor isn't supported.

Really? How can a 3 year old processor not be supported? Isn't there some kind of patch or something?

I swear if this turns out to be true, I'm done with Windows. I'll never buy another version again. I've used every version since Windows 95 and this will be the last.

It is true. Only MS knows why.

Unfortunately it is true. Microsoft is adding support for older processors but as of now the 2000 series isn't.

Personally i wouldn't even worry about it, i have 11 installed on my secondary PC and after using it for a while will not upgrade my main gaming PC. I just don't like it right now.

Ridiculous!

Dell is selling Windows 11 computers with DUAL CORE Pentium's.........but my 4/8 cpu with a faster clockspeed isn't supported???

Done!

Curious to know if similar Intel processors from "circa" 2018/2019 are supported?

All Zen 1 cpu's are incompatible with win 11. As for intel, anything older than coffeelake is not compatible with win 11.

Is there some kind of work around? probably.

Had to laugh when I read this:

1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC).

So there's a 1ghz dual core out there that will work? LOL

Yet my 4/8 core @3.4/3.9T won't?

Microsoft just shot self in foot. After 22 years it's time for me to move on, of course after they stop Win10 support......or maybe by then there will be a patch.

There's at least one other thread here where successful workarounds for older CPUs/platforms are discussed, though there is still (AFAIK) one big gotcha being Microsoft saying "we won't support it", but not elaborating on what that means. No Windows updates beyond a certain milestone, for example? Some people who are using 'unsupported' hardware have said they were getting updates at the time of asking.

I moved to Linux as my primary desktop OS after Win7 a few years ago because MS's apparent direction since then has been peeving me for a while. Maybe Microsoft will change their approach if enough people are sufficiently inclined to jump ship, and if those people provide tech support for friends/family, there's a good chance they'll take those extra people with them in time.

The Ryzen 5 2400G does not directly support TPM/fTPM 2.0, so it is not compatible with Windows 11 on its own. However, if your motherboard is new enough that the board itself supports TPM/fTPM 2.0, then you might be OK. Make sure TPM/fTPM is enabled in the system BIOS, then in Windows open a Command Prompt or the Run box and run TPM.MSC. (You might need to run it as Administrator.) If it says "Specification Version: 2.0", then you should be able to install Windows 11 as long as you also meet the other requirements.

TPM Is fine and enabled, it's the processor it say's isn't supported.

Nope, I recently tried the 'compatibility checker' for Windows 11, running a 'non-supported' AMD (6th gen) PRO series A10-8770 processor. The system is a business/enterprise model, featuring discrete Infineon SLB 9670 TPM 2.0 chip on the mobo. The update compatibility tool reported green check for TPM 2.0 but the CPU still was NOT supported. Just like this screenshot (not mine):

Reportedly Windows 11 will install (did not try it myself) but will occupy that vague 'unsupported' no-man's land of unknown significance. Who knows whether there will be a time when MS just decides to emulate the Soup Nazi...."No updates for YOU! Get out of here."
