Time for an update? Sure, why not? The past few months have seen many happenings in the hardware and software space, starting with the arrival of the Windows 11 2022 Update.

This was sandwiched between the arrival of new-generation processors, the Zen 4-based AMD Ryzen 7000 series, and, of course, Intel’s 13th-generation Core lineup, which goes by the codename Raptor Lake.

There is no better time than now to make some updates to the processor support for the OS.

Although the hardware requirements for Windows 11 have not changed much since the operating system’s unveiling, Microsoft has added a separate list of CPUs for the 22H2 update.

So, in case you were hoping that currently unsupported hardware would suddenly be supported, that ain’t happening, chief!

Nevertheless, you can view the updated list of supported processors for Windows 11 version 22H2 on their respective pages for the breed of CPUs.

This is likely to be continually updated as new processors make their way out in the wild or maybe even when older chips are removed from the list due to the sudden discovery of flaws and vulnerabilities.

You never can tell these days!

Still, that does not stop people from running the latest and greatest version of Windows on terribly outdated hardware.

Some even exclaim that it runs like magic!
