These Intel Xeon CPUs Will No Longer Be Compatible with Windows 11

Posted on 08/08/202308/08/2023 By Techuser

Since it was first released in 2021, Microsoft has periodically updated Windows 11 with a number of significant enhancements. They are currently updating the prerequisites for Windows 11. Why, though? As computers age, running the most recent operating system will provide issues if they are outdated. And these system requirements alter to guarantee a seamless operation. Several Intel Processors are no longer compatible with Windows 11 as a result. Look at the information below.

Intel Xeon CPUs That Don’t Support Windows 11 Anymore

The time has come for Microsoft to update its system requirements for Windows 11 and they will be dropping support for several older-generation Intel CPUs. This mostly includes Intel’s 8th-Gen Xeon processors as reported by Neowin.net.

You can check the list of these Intel Xeon Processors below to see if the updated system requirements affect your computer. This change shouldn’t affect the majority of users because other Intel 8th-Gen CPUs like the i7-8700K, i5-8400, or laptop CPUs are still supported.

  1. Intel Xeon E-2104G
  2. Intel Xeon E-2124
  3. Intel Xeon E-2124G
  4. Intel Xeon E-2126G
  5. Intel Xeon E-2134
  6. Intel Xeon E-2136
  7. Intel Xeon E-2144G
  8. Intel Xeon E-2146G
  9. Intel Xeon E-2174G
  10. Intel Xeon E-2176G
  11. Intel Xeon E-2176M
  12. Intel Xeon E-2186G
  13. Intel Xeon E-2186M
  14. Intel Xeon E-2224
  15. Intel Xeon E-2224G
  16. Intel Xeon E-2226G
  17. Intel Xeon E-2226GE
  18. Intel Xeon E-2234
  19. Intel Xeon E-2236
  20. Intel Xeon E-2244G
  21. Intel Xeon E-2246G
  22. Intel Xeon E-2254ME
  23. Intel Xeon E-2254ML
  24. Intel Xeon E-2274G
  25. Intel Xeon E-2276G
  26. Intel Xeon E-2276M
  27. Intel Xeon E-2276ME
  28. Intel Xeon E-2276ML
  29. Intel Xeon E-2278G
  30. Intel Xeon E-2278GE
  31. Intel Xeon E-2278GEL
  32. Intel Xeon E-2286G
  33. Intel Xeon E-2286M
  34. Intel Xeon E-2288G
  35. Intel Xeon E-2314
  36. Intel Xeon E-2324G
  37. Intel Xeon E-2334
  38. Intel Xeon E-2336
  39. Intel Xeon E-2356G
  40. Intel Xeon E-2374G
  41. Intel Xeon E-2378
  42. Intel Xeon E-2378G
  43. Intel Xeon E-2386G
  44. Intel Xeon E-2388G

All of these CPUs are workstation-grade and are frequently used in servers and other business settings. None of them are in Intel’s CPU family designed for typical users, so even if you have an older processor, it probably still functions just fine with Windows 11.

Apart from these Intel Xeon CPUs, a report by deskmodder.de states that its forum users are unable to use ‘bypass methods,’ which people use to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware such as Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs.

So they added further protections against the workarounds users use to install Windows 11 on older devices in the most recent build of Windows 11. In the future, they might even totally prevent OS installation on earlier CPUs (perhaps starting with Windows 12). You can read all of the information we have regarding the imminent Windows 12 upgrade here, by the way.
