Windows 11 24H2 will very important update, both for the innovations it will introduce and for the changes it will bring at the level of requirements. We know that this new version of Microsoft’s famous operating system will be the first to have Automatic Super Resolution, an intelligent scaling technology that could make a big difference in games, and it will also come with interesting AI-level improvements.

Another of the news that caused the greatest anticipation around Windows 11 24H2 was the implementation a hard lock that will affect different processorsand that it will not be able to overcome on this occasion, which means that this update will mean the end of the road with the said operating system for everyone who has an incompatible processor.

A few weeks ago I told you how you can know if your PC will be able to run Windows 11 24H2 and today I want to offer you complete and clear list with all processors that will be affected by this block. If your processor is on the list, you won’t be able to update your PC to the new version of Windows 11 because, as I said before, it uses a hard lock, which means that There’s no way to get over it for now.

This may change when Microsoft releases the final version of this update, planned for the end of this year, but there is still nothing confirmed in this regard, so for now, what counts is what has been implemented in the current version and having a hard block in it that denies access to computers equipped processors lacking SSE4A or SSE4.2 instructions.
