No upgrade to Windows 11: system requirements too high for many businesses

Date:

According to a study of more than 30 million systems at around 60,000 businesses, nearly 43 percent of PCs don’t upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 because the new operating system’s system requirements are often simply too high to handle. company computers. In most cases, the CPU prevents an update.

Windows 11 has not yet reached companies

I like the site Register has reported a representative study based on Lansweeper, an IT management solution that collects hardware and software information from computer systems and other equipment on a computer network for management, compliance, and auditing purposes, with more than 30 million systems in More than 60,000 businesses found that about 43 percent of PCs examined did not receive an upgrade to Windows 11.

CPU, RAM and TPM prevent update

The reason for not updating to the latest version of Windows is the high system requirements.

  • 57 percent of systems receive Windows 11
  • 43 percent of systems do not receive Windows 11
  • 42.7 percent of all CPUs are not enough
  • 7.2 percent of PCs do not have enough RAM
  • 14.6 percent of PCs do not have a TPM 2.0

The picture looks even bleaker for servers than it does for PCs or workstations. About 94 percent of physical servers are not eligible for the upgrade, while 99 percent of virtual machines are.

In addition to CPUs, 8th Gen Intel Core and AMD Zen+ are officially required, and working memory, missing TPM modules often frustrate businesses and prevent an upgrade to Windows 11, as they differ from corresponding workarounds in the private environment. of course they are not an alternative for the company.

The Lansweeper study sees Windows 10 (81.8%) ahead of Windows Server (8.8%) and Windows 7 (3.4%). Windows 11 only comes in fourth with a share of just 2.6 percent.
