Windows 11 System Requirements
Windows 11 is meant to bring you closer to the things you love. It comes out at a time when PCs are becoming even more important to how we connect, make things, and play. When we decided where to set the minimum system requirements for Windows 11, we kept three things in mind to help make sure that users would have a great time:
- Reliability
- Security
- Compatibility
If you want to learn more about our minimum system requirements and how these principles helped us make decisions, you can read this blog post, which goes into more detail about how we work.
System requirements and your computer
Here are the minimum system requirements your PC must meet for a great computing experience:
- CPUs: 1 GHz or faster with two or more cores and in our list. The processor determines if your PC can run Windows 11. The processor’s clock speed, which must be 1 GHz or more, and core count, which must be two or more, need to be upgraded.
- 4GB RAM Upgrade your RAM if it’s less than 4GB. Check your PC maker’s website or a store to see if there are cheap solutions to meet Windows 11’s requirements.
- Storage: 64GB or more. Sometimes you can upgrade your PC’s hard drive. Check your PC maker’s website or a store to see if there are cheap solutions to meet Windows 11’s requirements.
- System Firmware: UEFI and Secure Boot. Read this article if your device doesn’t satisfy the minimum requirements because it can’t do Secure Boot. This article discusses how to enable Secure Boot using UEFI.
- Second-generation TPM (TPM). If your device doesn’t satisfy the minimal requirements because of TPM, see this article to fix it.
- GPU: DirectX 12+ with WDDM 2.0 driver. HD (720p), 8 bits per colour channel, 9″ diagonal. Windows may need to look better if your screen is under 9 inches.
- Internet, Microsoft Account: First-time Windows 11 Home Edition setup requires an internet connection and a Microsoft Account.
- Upgraded Windows: Windows Update requires Windows 10 version 2004 or later. Windows Update offers free updates through Settings > Update and Security > Update and Security.
Upgrade Specific Requirements for S Mode
S mode is no longer available in Windows 11 Pro, Education, and Enterprise. Windows 11 users must leave S mode and cannot return to it. Upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 11 Home in S mode.
Before upgrading, exit S mode:
- Open Settings > Update & Security > Activation in Windows 10 S mode.
- Go to the Store from the Switch to Windows 10 Home or Pro section.
- Note: Wait to click Upgrade Windows. This keeps you in S mode.
- Click Get on the Microsoft Store’s Switch out of S mode page. You can install programmes from outside the Microsoft Store after confirming this action.
