As researcher Bob Pony discovered, the processor must now support the POPCNT instruction, which counts the number of bits in a number. According to him, POPCNT is used in various system files of Windows 11 24H2, so without this instruction the operating system will not be able to boot on the computer.
This solution will cause problems for owners of older computers that do not support POPCNT. For example, this will affect users of computers with AMD Turion II and Intel Core 2 Duo processors released before 2008.
With the release of Windows 11, Microsoft added TPM 2.0 support to the Windows 11 installation requirements. The company recommends users purchase new computers or laptops with Windows 11 pre-installed if their existing devices do not meet the requirements. However, enthusiasts have overcome this limitation.
