Windows 11 是对Windows 10^{(Windows 10)}的重大改进，并且伴随着所有这些新工具和功能^{(all those new tools and features)}，系统会产生额外的负载。这使得检查您的系统是否能够处理Windows 11非常重要。在这篇文章中，我们来看看最低和推荐的Windows 11 系统^(System) 要求^{(Requirements)}。

Windows 11 系统要求

可以通过Microsoft的^(Microsoft)PC 健康检查工具^{(PC Health Check Tool)}来检查您的系统是否支持Windows 11的简单测试。但是，这是对最低要求的测试，而不是平稳运行系统所需的测试。相反^(Rather)，Windows 11有许多其他特定于功能的硬件要求。让我们详细讨论这些。

1. 处理器
2. 内存
3. 硬盘空间
4. 显卡
5. 系统固件
6. 可信平台模块
7. 展示
8. 网络连接。

Windows 11最低硬件要求^{(Minimum Hardware Requirements)}

Windows 11有新的最低硬件要求。不符合硬地板的电脑无法升级到Windows 11^{(cannot be upgraded to Windows 11)}。满足软地板要求的 PC 将收到不建议升级的通知。

1. 处理器：1 GHz或更快，在兼容的 64 位处理器或^(GHz)片^(Chip)上系统( SoC )上具有 2 个或更多内核
2. 系统^(System)固件：可信平台模块^{(Platform Module)}( TPM ) 2.0 版
3. 显卡：兼容DirectX 12或更高版本的WDDM 2.0驱动程序
4. 内存：4 GB
5. 存储：64 GB 或更大的存储设备
6. S 模式仅在Windows 11家庭^(Home)版上受支持。如果您在 S 模式下运行不同版本的Windows，则需要在升级之前先退出 S 模式。

更新^(UPDATE)：微软已经调整了要求。他们现在允许不受支持的 PC安装 Windows 11^{(Install Windows 11)}，但不允许升级^(Upgrade)。

在 S 模式下将设备从Windows 11^{(Windows 11)} 家庭^(Home)版中切换出来还需要互联网连接。

对于所有Windows 11版本，需要访问 Internet 才能执行更新以及下载和利用某些功能。某些功能需要Microsoft帐户。^(Microsoft)

1]处理器

Windows 11需要具有 2 个或更多内核的 1GHz 处理器，并且仅支持 64 位系统。对于那些一直在使用Windows 10的人来说，主要区别在于使用 2 个或更多内核。虽然许多用户在 2000 年代后期更喜欢转向双核或更好的计算机，但其中很大一部分用户依赖于低端的单核系统。他们会错过使用Windows 11的公共汽车。此外，那些拥有 32 位系统的用户将不得不继续使用Windows 10。

2]内存

在判断系统性能时，RAM通常是限制因素。许多系统制造商推出了具有 2GB RAM的^(RAMs)Windows 10系统，而这几乎不是最低要求（对于 64 位系统）。结果，大多数用户不得不升级他们系统的RAM^(RAMs)。现在，随着Windows 11将标准推到 4GB，您可能需要进一步升级到 6GB 或 8GB 的​​ RAM，才能获得流畅的操作系统体验。

3]硬盘空间

Windows 11所需的硬盘空间为64GB。这明显高于Windows 10（64 位）所需的 20GB。但是，保持通常的缓冲区，让我们建议您的系统中至少需要 100GB 的可用空间才能顺利运行Windows 11。

4]显卡

系统的显卡^{(Graphics Card)}需要兼容DirectX 12或更高版本的WDDM 2.0驱动程序，这对于Windows 10用户使用WDDM 1.0的早期兼容DirectX9的要求是一个相当大的改进。

5]系统固件

虽然这不是之前的具体要求，但Windows 11^{(Windows 11)}要求UEFI安全启动^{(Secure Boot)}功能。也许，这可能会在大规模升级到Windows 11^{(Windows 11)}后逐步淘汰许多旧系统。

6]可信平台模块

安装Windows 11需要系统上存在受信任的平台模块^{(Trusted Platform Module)}( TPM ) 2.0。很多系统之前都没有这个选项，即使是高端系统。

7]显示

Windows 11 对显示器有特定要求，即显示器应支持高清 (720p) 显示，并且尺寸必须为 9 英寸或更大。每个颜色通道 8 位很重要。对于Windows 10，简单的要求是最低分辨率为 800 x 600。

8]互联网连接

对于Windows 10及更早版本，我们可以选择通过ISO和外部磁盘进行安装。互联网连接更可取，更新需要，但安装不需要。这在Windows 11中发生了变化，因为Microsoft网站特别提到了初始安装需要 Internet 连接。

• BitLocker to Go 需要 USB 闪存驱动器
• 客户端Hyper-V需要具有二级地址转换 ( SLAT ) 功能的处理器
• Cortana需要麦克风和扬声器，目前仅在特定国家/地区的Windows 11上可用^{(Windows 11)}
• DirectStorage 需要NVMe SSD来存储和运行使用“标准 NVM Express 控制器”驱动程序的游戏
• DirectX 12 Ultimate 可用于支持的游戏和图形芯片。
• 存在需要一个传感器，该传感器可以检测到人与设备的距离或与设备交互的意图。
• 5G 支持需要支持 5G 的调制解调器。
• 智能视频会议^{(Video Conferencing)}需要摄像机、麦克风和扬声器（音频输出）。
• Spatial Sound 需要支持硬件和软件。
• 团队^(Teams)需要摄像机、麦克风和扬声器（音频输出）。
• 触控需要支持多点触控的屏幕或显示器。
• 双重身份验证^{(Authentication)}需要使用PIN 码^(PIN)、生物识别或具有Wi-Fi或蓝牙^(Bluetooth)功能的电话。
• Xbox（应用程序）需要一个 Xbox Live帐户，该帐户并非在所有地区都可用。某些功能需要有效的 Xbox Game Pass订阅。
• 语音输入^{(Voice Typing)} 需要带麦克风的 PC。
• 语音^(Voice)唤醒需要现代待机^{(Modern Standby)}电源模型和麦克风。
• Wi-Fi 6E 需要新的WLAN IHV硬件和驱动程序以及支持 Wi-Fi 6E 的AP/router。
• Windows Hello需要为近红外 (IR) 成像配置的摄像头或用于生物识别身份验证的指纹读取器。
• Windows Projection需要一个支持Windows Display Driver Model ( WDDM ) 2.0 的显示适配器和一个支持Wi-Fi Direct的 Wi-Fi 适配器。

Windows 11 的要求是对Windows 10的要求的重大飞跃。大多数低端系统可能不符合升级条件，甚至更多，许多高端但较旧的系统也不符合升级条件。尽管随着我们技术的进步，微软^(Microsoft)为什么需要为安全和性能设定最低标准是可以理解的。

Windows 11 System Requirements: Feature-wise Minimum Hardware

Windows 11 is a significant improvement over Windows 10, and along with all those new tools and features comes a surplus load on the system. This makes it important to check whether your system would be able to handle Windows 11 or not. In this post, we take a look at the minimum and the recommended Windows 11 System Requirements.

Windows 11 System Requirements

A simple test to check whether your system can support Windows 11 or not could be done through the PC Health Check Tool from Microsoft. However, this is a test of the minimum requirements, not what is required to run the system smoothly. Rather, Windows 11 has a lot of additional feature-specific hardware requirements. Let us discuss these in detail.

1. Processor
2. RAM
3. Hard Disk Space
4. Graphics Card
5. System Firmware
6. Trusted Platform Module
7. Display
8. Internet Connection.

Windows 11 Minimum Hardware Requirements

There are the new minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. PCs that do not meet the hard floor cannot be upgraded to Windows 11. PCs that meet the soft floor will receive a notification that an upgrade is not advised.

1. Processor: 1 GHz or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC)
2. System firmware: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0
3. Graphics card: Compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver
4. RAM: 4 GB
5. Storage: 64 GB or larger storage device
6. S mode is only supported on the Home edition of Windows 11. If you are running a different edition of Windows in S mode, you will need to first switch out of S mode prior to upgrading.

UPDATE: Microsoft has tweaked the requirements. They now allow unsupported PC to Install Windows 11, but not Upgrade.

Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC) RAM: 4 gigabyte (GB) Storage: 64 GB or larger storage device

Note: See below under “More information on storage space to keep Windows 11 up-to-date” for more details.

System firmware: UEFI, Secure Boot capable TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 Graphics card: Compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver Display: High definition (720p) display that is greater than 9” diagonally, 8 bits per color channel Internet connection and Microsoft accounts:

Switching a device out of Windows 11 Home in S mode also requires internet connectivity.

For all Windows 11 editions, internet access is required to perform updates and to download and take advantage of some features. A Microsoft account is required for some features.

1] Processor

Windows 11 needs a 1GHz processor with 2 or more cores and only supports 64-bit systems. For those who have been working with Windows 10, the main difference would be with 2 or more cores. While a lot of users preferred shifting to dual-core or better computers in the late 2000s, a significant chunk of them and relying on low-end single-core systems. They would miss the bus with Windows 11. Also, those with 32-bit systems would have to stay with Windows 10.

2] RAM

The RAM is usually the limiting factor while judging a system’s performance. Many system manufacturers launched Windows 10 systems with 2GB RAMs when that was barely the minimum requirement (for 64-bit systems). As a result, most users had to upgrade their systems’ RAMs. Now, with Windows 11 pushing the bar to 4GB, you might have to upgrade even further to 6GB or 8GB of RAM for a smooth experience with the operating system.

3] Hard Disk Space

The required hard disk space for Windows 11 is 64GB. This is significantly higher than the 20GB needed for Windows 10 (64-bit). However, keeping the usual buffer, let us suggest you would need at least 100GB of free space in your system for the smooth functioning of Windows 11.

4] Graphics Card

The Graphics Card of the system needs to be compatible with DirectX 12 or later with a WDDM 2.0 driver, and that is quite an improvement over the earlier requirement of compatibility with DirectX9 for Windows 10 users with WDDM 1.0.

5] System Firmware

While this was not a specific requirement earlier, Windows 11 mandates UEFI, Secure Boot capability. Perhaps, this could phase out a lot of older systems after the masses upgrade to Windows 11.

6] Trusted Platform Module

The installation of Windows 11 requires the presence of Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 on the system. A lot of systems did not have this option earlier, even the high-end ones.

7] Display

Windows 11 has a specific requirement with a display that the monitor should allow a high definition (720p) display and must be 9” inches or greater in size. 8 bits per color channel are important. In the case of Windows 10, the simple requirement was a minimum resolution of 800 x 600.

8] Internet Connection

With Windows 10 and earlier versions, we had an option of installation through ISO and external disks. An internet connection was preferable and needed for updates, but not necessary for installation. This has changed with Windows 11 since the Microsoft website specifically mentions the requirement of an internet connection for initial installation.

Windows 11 Recommended System Requirements

There are additional requirements over time for updates, as well as requirements to turn on specific features, as mentioned by Microsoft:

• Multiple Voice Assistant (MVA) requires a microphone and speaker.
• Snap three-column layouts require a screen that is 1920 effective pixels or greater in width.
• Mute/Unmute from Taskbar requires a video camera, microphone, and speaker.
• Auto HDR requires an HDR monitor.
• BitLocker to Go requires a USB flash drive
• Client Hyper-V requires a processor with second-level address translation (SLAT) capabilities
• Cortana requires a microphone and speaker and is currently available on Windows 11 in select countries only
• DirectStorage requires an NVMe SSD to store and run games that use the “Standard NVM Express Controller” driver
• DirectX 12 Ultimate is available with supported games and graphics chips.
• Presence requires a sensor that can detect human distance from the device or intent to interact with the device.
• 5G support requires a 5G capable modem.
• Intelligent Video Conferencing requires a video camera, microphone, and speaker (audio output).
• Spatial Sound requires supporting hardware and software.
• Teams require a video camera, microphone, and speaker (audio output).
• Touch requires a screen or monitor that supports multi-touch.
• Two-factor Authentication requires the use of a PIN, biometric, or a phone with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capabilities.
• Xbox (app) requires an Xbox Live account, which is not available in all regions. Some features require an active Xbox Game Pass subscription.
• Voice Typing requires a PC with a microphone.
• Wake on Voice requires a Modern Standby power model and microphone.
• Wi-Fi 6E requires new WLAN IHV hardware and driver and a Wi-Fi 6E capable AP/router.
• Windows Hello requires a camera configured for near-infrared (IR) imaging or a fingerprint reader for biometric authentication.
• Windows Projection requires a display adapter that supports Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 2.0 and a Wi-Fi adapter that supports Wi-Fi Direct.

Windows 11 requirements are a significant jump over the requirements for Windows 10. Most low-end systems might not be eligible for the upgrade and even more, a lot of high-end but older systems would not be eligible for the upgrade either. Though as we progress with technology, it is understandable why Microsoft needs to set minimum stands for safety and performance.
