Well, Windows 11 has a new system requirement. And here is the list of them,

For the Processor, it requires at least Intel 8th generation processors or AMD Zen 2, as well as Qualcomm 7 and 8 series. Right now the Windows team is testing with Windows Insiders and partner with OEMs to run Windows 11 on Intel 7th generation and AMD Zen 1. Over the time, the CPU requirement might be lower when the public released.
