Default ASUS Laptop

On the 1/2/22 i took these photos of the Asus.

When windows 11 was first announced and you could do the check to see if your laptop was compatible i did and all was then ok, later it said it was not, below are the photos of the spec etc.

Pic 1
1

2

CPU ?
3

So again followed why?
4

5

6

system requirements
7

about my Asus.
8

9

Therefore from above can someone please state why it's not compatible, as from what i read the CPU 1.60GHz should that be enough ? all and positive replies welcome thank you.

PS i will post up the HP later.

Steve - it is the processor.


The Celeron in your laptop is one of Intel's SoC chips intended for entry level laptops and of an earlier generation than the MS supported CPU list. It has roughly 1/3 the processing power of the minimum CPU recommended by MS for Win 11 for a good user experience. I would try Win 11 on it nearer 2025 but expect that usability will be lacking due to the processing power.

In 2025 my laptop will be 14 years old so will be pensioned off anyway or repurposed with Linux. My desktop will be 15 years old so ditto, assuming it lasts that long (the PSU went BANG a couple of years ago but that was easily replaced).

Steve - I think that is the right path to go down.

The lowest quad-core CPU that windows 11 will be officially supported on is an i3-8100 (or a pentium/celeron of the same 8th gen architecture for lower performance). These were launched back in 2017. In October 2025 when support for windows 10 ends, machines with these CPUs will be 6-8 years old. Personally, I don't feel it's a big deal, especially as the older PCs will be able to continue working on Windows 10 or 7 and safely off the internet.

By the time we get to October 2025, ex-busines PCs with an i3-8100 and 8GB RAM should be available for around £100-£150. I would always replace the used hard disk and SSD with a new one for peace of mind. This means that a user would be able to buy a PC capable of lasting atleast 5 years for around £200 i.e. less than £50/PA. I would go down this path for security and run the older machines for general use offline or on Linux for web browsing etc with the Linux firewall turned on.

To play with windows 11 on a machine not used for serious work, I've just ordered an ex-business i3-8100/8GB RAM/500GB HD Lenovo V530S for £170. I'll replace the HD with a 500GB nVME SSD for exceptional performance and end up with a quality PC for playing for less than £250. Lenovo and HP are my favourites as they are built to quality but don't have any special components to make life difficult like Dell.

My Wife bought a new Dell when she found out that the HP she had would not accept windows 11, which we were both surprised about.

I now have that

the best advice i have heard about this is stick to the operating system the computer was designed with. All our works PC and home laptops are windows 10 and will stay that way. when it comes time for each to be replaced, they will be replaced with windows 11 preloaded machines.

Mac's are wonderful if you are a guru or young and have been brought up with them. half my job is with designers and printers and the other half with admins and accountants, the arty lot use macs the office folk PCs. Personally I cannot handle the macs, they are just too strange after years with windows.

My laptop came with Windows 7. It's on Windows 10 now and with a new install on an SSD runs quite well. If it's still going when Windows 10 reaches end-of-life I'll stick Linux on it.

MS will always try to restrict choice, e.g. browser choice, insofar that they can whilst staying only just legal. Personally, I find such approaches by large companies distasteful and Firefox is my browser of choice for this very reason. If non-MS browsers are practically locked out of Win 11, I will still have a Win 11 machine except that all but one of my machines at home will be on Linux. Currently, the machine that I spend most of my time on runs Lubuntu LTS.



Same here I got rid of Windows 10 & previous Windows OS's for Linux/Ubuntu/Solus on all my PC's years ago, I have a Windows 10 Pro on my Gaming PC for my Train Sim World & the only desktop I have trouble with is that one It also says it's not Windows 11 compatible so I'm not sure how or if it will effect my train simulator game in the near future?


I have Windows 10 Pro on another high spec desktop for recording music/videos that wouldn't recognise expensive software I bought for music & video recording so I use that off line only nowadays Linux just works.

That would be boring. Real Men don't do that!

I've now used Windows 11 on a fully compliant PC (i3-8100 CPU, 8GB RAM, Firmware TPM....) extensively for about a week and found it to be perfectly stable. There is really nothing there that I dislike. There will be some early issues which affect advanced users no doubt, but I would not have any concern about going over to 11 by the time win 10 goes out of support.
