Now navigate to Azure AD and create a new AAD Group (Statically Assigned) Once you have the two device lists, get the Device IDs for the compatible devices with some Excel magic (or a VLOOKUP) Now export the list of devices into CSV format. In Intune, navigate to Devices – Windows DevicesĬlick the Columns button at the top and select Azure AD Device ID You can also sort on the Readiness State or export to CSV to better filter within Excel (and maybe do a nice pie chart to present to whoever holds the budget) Deploymentįirst up, create an Azure AD group and populate with the devices exported and marked as compatible: This then gives a list of your devices with a heading for Windows 11 Readiness State and another for the reasonĪs you can see, mine is a VM so not compatible with Win11 You then want to click on the Windows Tab at the top DetectionĪnyway, to find out which, you need to navigate to Report – Endpoint Analytics and then Work from Anywhere Whilst most recent machines tick the boxes, the 7th Gen requirement is going to rule out some perfectly capable machines unfortunately and you *can* technically install W11 on these, but it’s totally unsupported. Compatible Processor (roughly 7th Gen and up).But, how do you know which to replace?īefore looking at that, let’s refresh the requirements first: We've reached out to Microsoft to clarify why the upgrade is being offered, and whether the issue will be rectified anytime soon.Windows 11 has been out a while now and I’m sure most of you have been testing and are nearing the point of looking at deploying to your userbase.Īs we all know, however, the requirements are a lot stricter than they were for Windows 10 (or even 7) so you may find yourselves needing to do some hardware refreshes. If you've been offered the upgrade and you know your PC isn't supported, the best option for now is to simply ignore it.
You also shouldn't expect this to mean Microsoft will be changing the system requirements in a big to get more users on Windows 11. Microsoft claimed at one point that PCs with older CPUs experienced over 50% more crashes, which is why they weren't approved to begin with.
We also wouldn't necessarily recommend upgrading your PC if it doesn't meet the minimum requirements, particularly those related to RAM or the CPU, as you'll probably get less-than-ideal performance. There are workarounds to install Windows 11 on unsupported PCs, but this isn't one of them. If the user tries to take the offer, the system compatibility check will run and indicate that the computer in question isn't supported, so it still can't install Windows 11. This all appears to be an error, however, as the upgrade doesn't actually go through.
