Asus is working on a new firmware for certain motherboards that allow the PC to improve to Windows 11, passing the system requirements set by Microsoft for it.
The Microsoft Windows 11 system requirements have fair confusion, since the upgrade was announced on June 24.
While Microsoft further clarified in August that the Intel chip and other motherboards might be able to install Windows 11, other users were still abandoned from upgrades.
However, Asus seems to be working on firmware updates for Intel motherboards, launching a beta version that allows Windows 11 to be installed on certain products.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Asus
The company works on firmware updates that allow users to improve to Windows 11 on their PC, explain in the notes for the Motherboard STRIX Z270F:
“Supports Windows 11 by default, there is no change in the settings needed at UEFI BIOS.
Please note that this is the beta BIOS version of the motherboard which is still undergoing final testing before the official release. “
This is a motherboard that supports the Intel Kaby Lake CPU series, with Celeron G3900 and above and the Core i3-6098P series.
While Windows 11 officially supports the minimum eighth generation Intel Core processor, Asus uses this opportunity to clearly support the seventh Skylake and Lake Kaby Gen for its users on certain motherboards.
This also means that Asus is not done, so that your motherboard can immediately qualify for firmware updates in the future that can support Windows 11 immediately. Be sure to check the support site if this happens.
Analysis: Asus leads with an example
Microsoft’s sloping messaging on what hardware supported Windows 11 has been a problem attached, even when we approached the October 5 release. While the reason is understandable, unfortunately it has damaged some goodwill that has built since the confusion of Windows 8 returns in 2012.
The operating system is touched first without compromise, but eventually the user is alienating who wants a desktop and starts the menu back, without having to use the tile interface.
Time will notify whether Microsoft will punish Asus because it allows a longer motherboard to run on an increase, but from the PR perspective, it is much better than the message that has been brought to all official announcements of Windows 11 by Microsoft.
