Windows 11 Compatible Laptop Processor List
On this page you can see what laptop processors meet the official system requirements for the upcoming Microsoft Windows 11 operating system. To make things easier for users interested specifically in laptop computers, we have filtered out desktop, server, and embedded CPUs that can be also found on the Microsoft’s Windows 11 supported processor lists. Therefore, the list on this page includes only laptop-use CPUs.
According to the list, Windows 11 compatible laptop processors are those by Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm, released in 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, and in some cases in 2017. Among the most popular mainstream models, there are 8th, 10th, and 11th Generation Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 chips, as well as AMD’s 3000, 4000, and 5000 series Ryzen 3, 5, and 7 processors. In short, it’s safe to assume laptop CPUs from 2018 onwards do meet these requirements. This matches Microsoft’s claim in Windows 11 FAQs that “many PCs that are less than four years old will be able to upgrade to Windows 11.”

Besides the processor compatibility, there are other system requirements that laptops and other computers have to meet in order to run Windows 11. They have to have at least 4GB of system memory (RAM), at least 64GB of storage space, at least 9-inch display diagonal, 720p display resolution, and 8 bits per color channel, a DirectX 12 or later-compatible graphics processor with WDDM 2.0 driver, Trusted Platform Module 2.0 technology, and UEFI firmware with Secure Boot. Other laptop-specific requirements are Precision-compliant touchpad, Wi-Fi or Ethernet LAN connection, Bluetooth connection, at least one USB port, video output, and a hardware power button. Also, tablets have to have hardware volume up and down buttons.
Although Microsoft doesn’t specifically claim on Windows 11 support pages that all of the processors on the compatibility list include DirectX 12, WDDM 2.0, and TPM 2.0 by default, that’s apparently true. Even the weakest listed processors specs-wise, like the Intel Celeron N4000 or AMD 3015e, do have DirectX 12 / WDDM 2.0 compatible integrated graphics processors, as well as built-in TPM 2.0 technology. Also, the most of, if not all, laptops released in 2017 or later do have UEFI with Secure Boot.
