24 июня Microsoft в буквальном смысле ошарашила сообщество владельцев компьютеров по всему миру. Так, была представлена новая операционная система, в реальность существования которой многие не верили до тех пор, пока это официально не подтвердили представители софтверного гиганта. Стоит понимать, что за несколько дней до этого в сеть попали рабочие образы с Windows 11, но кто в наше время верит столь явным утечкам? В любом случае уже через пару дней эйфория прошла, а её место заняла целая гора негатива. Дело в том, что Microsoft ужесточила требования к железу для новой ОС. Так, все процессоры должны на аппаратном уровне поддерживать функцию TPM 2.0. Поскольку это относительно новая система безопасности, то столь странное решение было встречено в штыки. Геймеры забрасывали Microsoft требованиями снизить требования до совместимости с TPM 1.2, но пока ребята непоколебимы.
Есть основания полагать, что в некоторые случаях требование удастся обойти, поскольку данная технология шифрования не используется в ряде стран (РФ в их число входит). В таких случаях будет поставляться модифицированная версия Windows 11, но слепо полагаться на заявления инсайдеров мы бы не стали. Также появились сведения о том, что Microsoft тестирует новую ОС на совместимость с процессорами Intel Core 7000-й серии и Ryzen 1-й серии. Пока всё слишком запутанно, предлагаем вам ознакомиться с официальной позицией Gigabyte.
Судя по всему, производитель решил успокоить своих клиентов. Сообщается, что Gigabyte обеспечивает полную совместимость с технологией TPM 2.0 на абсолютно всех материнских платах начиная с серии 200. Поддержка там реализована на аппаратном уровне, что позволяет владельцам систем не переживать понапрасну. Ниже можно увидеть пример активации TPM 2.0 через BIOS.
Кстати, какое-то время о совместимости можно вообще не волноваться. Дело в том, что Windows 11 окажется доступна в 2021 году только для новых пользователей, а вот обновиться с Windows 10 бесплатно получится только в 2022 году. Очевидно, что Microsoft устроила всё это не напрасно. Во-первых, десятки миллионов пользователей купят новые компьютеры. Во-вторых, миллионы не станут ждать обновления, предпочитая потратить пару сотен долларов на самую последнюю версию Windows на планете.

Для наглядности тайваньская компания Micro-Star International официально предоставила список своих устройств поддерживающих необходимую микросхему TPM версии 2.0, которая реализована в наборах логики Intel серии 100 и новее, а также в процессорах семейства AMD Ryzen.
Следовательно для материнских плат с имеющейся поддержкой TPM 2.0 на борту не требуется внешний TPM модуль, так как наборы микросхем и процессоры оборудованы встроенным микропрограммным модулем TPM (fTPM).
По сути всё, что вам нужно сделать, так это найти в BIOS вкладку «Поддержка устройств безопасности» и активировать её.
Плавно переходим к самому списку материнских плат, которые поддерживают TPM 2.0 модуль.

- Имейте в виду, что это не список совместимых с Windows 11 материнских плат, а лишь список устройств, которые поддерживают необходимый для новой операционной системы Microsoft модуль TPM 2.0.
- Для более подробной информации о поддержке TPM 2.0 модуля для наборов микросхем Intel посетите официальный сайт компании.
- На сегодняшний день процессоры Intel 6-го и 7-го поколения, а также чипы X-Series 9000 и 78xx не входят в список совместимых с Windows 11 процессоров.

With Windows 11 set to become the new norm in Microsoft PCs – with Windows 10 support ending in just over a year – it’s worth checking the various requirements for installing the new OS on your machine. Though many barriers to the operating system can be overcome with some trusty settings tweaks, the physical components of your rig also play their part – which is why it is important to check your Windows 11 motherboard compatibility. Motherboards aren’t as glamorous as GPUs or CPUs when it comes to PC parts, but they play a vital role in establishing compatibility.
As we enter a new era of Windows PCs, we’ve detailed the board requirements so that your PC isn’t left in the past. Though Windows 11 has taken longer to be adopted than previous Windows iterations, it is becoming the standard of new PCs – so make sure that your unit is ready for the update!
Windows 11 Motherboard Requirements
Windows 11 doesn’t have explicit motherboard requirements, aside from needing a Trusted Platform Module (or TPM) installed. This technology provides advanced security features to help keep your PC secure, and is a small but significant gateway to Windows 11. However, since the new operating system requires TPM 2.0 or later, which has been in operation since 2015, there are plenty of compatible motherboards available.
But whilst you are checking your motherboard for compatibility, it may be worth ensuring that you have the other requirements squared away. Most are extremely barebones, such as the requirement for 4GB of RAM, but others such as a minimum 64GB of storage space may require you to clean out your disk space a little.
Additionally, those looking to experiment with Copilot+, Windows’ native AI-powered engine, will likely need a significant hardware upgrade to what they currently have. A minimum of a 256GB SSD, 16GB of RAM and an NPU-accommodating processor are among the base requirements for Microsoft’s new AI engine.
Windows 11 Motherboard Compatibility: All Chipsets
As mentioned, most motherboards under a decade old will support Windows 11. To save you carbon-dating your current board, here’s a list of all the current chipsets that are compatible with the new operating system:

This list is not exhaustive, however. We’ve done our best to highlight all of the compatible chipsets from the top manufacturers, including recent releases such as the X870 range, but these are subject to change. As a rule-of-thumb, any motherboard range released later than 2016 will be compatible with Windows 11.
FAQs
Do I need to buy Windows 11?
Windows 11 comes as a free upgrade for most Windows 10 PCs. If you have a compatible system, you should be prompted to upgrade with a message in the PC Health Check app.
Why is my PC ineligible for Windows 11?
Some users will be met with an ineligibility message: “This PC doesn’t currently meet all the system requirements for Windows 11”. This is due to many hard requirements of Windows 11 being optional features not enabled by Windows 10 by default, such as enabling Secure Boot and calibrating your motherboard to be UEFI-Only.
In Summary
Windows 11 motherboard compatibility is broad, and there’s a high chance that your current motherboard already supports the latest Microsoft OS natively. If that’s not the case, you hopefully have plenty of options to choose from here today.
