There has been a bit of a fuss over the Windows 11 hardware requirements. Although the operating system should work fine with most systems, the “officially recommended specs” have been high. The omission of first-gen Ryzen and pre-Coffee Lake processors has been at the center of discussions. Microsoft has stated that it will reassess its hardware requirements, but we suspect the damage has already been done.
The motherboard manufacturers have decided to gain a bit of press with all this, announcing the list of "compatible" boards with Windows 11. But the reality is that basically all motherboards with support for TPM 2.0 are compatible, which includes to most of the models released during the last decade. These include Intel X299, C621, C232, C236, C246, 200, 300, 400, 500, and AMD TRX40, 300, 400, 500 motherboards from top companies.
In reality, what may prevent you from updating is a lack of TPM support, or if it is disabled, and in rare cases, if you have a really old CPU. As such, announcing a list of compatible plates is really just a public relations move. Since almost all models are technically compatible with Windows 11, they really only state the obvious.
