Windows 11 Compatible Laptops List

Microsoft has released Windows 11 to all laptops, PC and Desktops. It turns out Windows 10 wasn’t the last version of Windows after all, but that’s okay, because Windows 11 will be free for all Windows 10 users, and includes a bunch of new features and improvements over the current version of Windows.

Windows 11 requires your PC to have a pretty modern CPU and a 2.0 Trusted Platform Module or TPM, which means older PCs are out of luck.
