Question What are your thoughts? Will this CPU be included in the list of supported CPUs

Is Windows 11 ever going to be available for CPUs with weak performance?
I am interested in installing Windows 11 on an old laptop. My PC Health Check showed that all requirements are met, except for the CPU. It consists of:

It is equipped with AMD A4-9120e, which has 4 compute cores with 2 cores and 2 gigabytes

What are your thoughts? Will this CPU be included in the list of supported CPUs

It is technically already possible to install windows 11 on older CPU's that don't support TPM 2.0, however it is not officially recommended by Windows to do so and won't be in the foreseeable future because they require your CPU to have TPM 2.0 for security purposes. If you still want to proceed however, try following this guide. Though I personally wouldn't recommend it, I'd just stick with windows 10 or try out Linux. Linux definitely has a reputation for breathing new life in old devices. Also Google has made their ChromeOS available for installation on any supported device, Linus Tech Tips did an interesting video on it. Your results may vary though.

The requirement of having TPM 2.0 will prevent a swathe of older CPUs from ever being added to the support list. Basically, anything older than what's already there will likely never be added. But if it does get added, it'll probably be for some really niche edition that isn't suitable for consumer use.

If you're trying to find an OS on the laptop so you can daily drive it, I recommend putting a lightweight Linux distro on there, like Zorin OS Lite or the xfce version of Linux Mint.

Well look, on the off chance that you don't have compatible CPU, no doubt there's nothing precisely convincing you to upgrade.
At the end of the day, even the ongoing arrangement of overhauls are not many that, without a doubt, not very many can take advantage of at any rate, be it WSLg, WSA, better Performing various tasks, better computer chip Booking, etc.

So obviously, you can readily adhere to Windows 10 upto 2025, when either Windows 11 will drop/diminish the necessity, basically for updating clients, or you can purchase another PC, since it'll progress in years in any case.

The fairly brutal move must be made for security, since TPM and Secure Boot alone cause a colossal improvement in security and all organizations to have been MS's solicitations to empower/introduce those as a matter of course, since around 2012. As a matter of fact a few organizations use TPM, yet impair it naturally
