New Windows 11 devices must use modern device drivers which have passed the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program for Windows 11 or the latest available modern device drivers based on Declarative, Componentized, Hardware Support Apps (DCH) design principles. OEMs may use the following CPUs for new Windows 11 devices. Updates to the processor lists will occur at each subsequent general availability of Windows.

It is expected that the processor list will not reflect the most current offerings from processor manufacturers between updates. Subsequently released and future generations of processors which meet the same principles will be considered as supported, even if not explicitly listed. This download installs the Intel Graphics Driver for Braswell, 4th and 5th generations. These processors meet the design principles around security, reliability, and the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. The processors listed represent the processor models which meet the minimum floor for the supported processor generations and up through the latest processors at the time of publication.
