The CPU is backed by 16GB DDR4 RAM and a 512GB NVMe SSD for storage.
This PC is powered by a 4GHz AMD Ryzen 7 3750H processor. I’ve been running the Windows 11 Beta Channel 22000.184 release on a new computer - a Beelink GTR7 Mini PC - bought just so I could check out the new OS. Why would the company do this? Doesn’t it know it’s going to tick off some of their most loyal users who want an early jump at Windows 11 when those users discover - surprise! - they can't run Windows 11 after all? That makes no sense. For example, and I'm not making this up: Microsoft has relaxed its Windows 11 Insider Program beta rules so you can run Windows 11 beta releases on PCs that won't be able to run Windows 11 when it ships Oct. Microsoft remains confused as ever about what can, and can't, run Windows 11. In fact, Computerworld's own Microsoft Patch Lady, Susan Bradley, recommends you hold off on moving to Windows 11. But no one's going to be paying you - unless you're someone like me who writes about this stuff - to upgrade your Windows 10 machine and then find out it doesn't work right or it doesn't support an essential application. That can be an expensive and annoying experiment. (I like the free and open-source WhyNotWin11.) But the only way you can really know if your PC will run Windows 11 is to, well, try to run Windows 11 on your PC. There are other "Can I run Windows 11?" programs. But Microsoft pulled it the first time around and I'm none too sure how reliable it is this time around. Yes, there's Microsoft's PC Health Check app and other programs to determine whether you can run Windows 11. It's difficult to know whether any given computer will run Windows 11, which arrives Oct.
#How to get windows 11 beta drivers#
Maybe some of your drivers and programs won't run, but Windows 11 itself? No problem.īut, if you want to update your existing computers, especially those that have a few years on them - that’s another story.
We can be reasonably certain that Windows 11 will run on your new Dell, HP, or Lenovo PC. It will be one thing, say, later this year or in 2022, to buy a new PC with Windows 11.
