Microsoft has just announced to ease down their minimum Windows 11 Minimum System Requirements to make their OS compatible with Intel Core X-series and Xeon W-series processors. Microsoft has announced everything related to what their OS demands well before Windows 11 release. Microsoft had been getting a lot of negative feedback from the community because of demanding such high-end specifications just to run the OS. Thus it was important for the developers to ease down their requirements by a bit just weeks before its release. The developers started testing the beta version of their OS back in June and have made significant upgrades and changes to the game. Here is all the information released about the upcoming, Windows 11 OS. Read

Microsoft has lowered their minimum specifications and has made the OS compatible with Intel Core X-series, Xeon W-series and Intel Core 7820HQ CPUs. Even after releasing a lot of information about the Windows devices, Microsoft has not given out anything on Windows 11 support for MacBooks via Boot Camp. Because of no announcements, currently, there are no options for Apple users to install the OS officially due to the TPM 2.0 requirement. 9to5mac has also covered this topic and has pointed out that Apple has never offered support for the TPM 2.0 on its Intel Macs.
