I think this question is pretty common now with all the Windows 10 releases since they made a major change to the way it works with windows applications on the desktop.
As some of you may already know, x86 (including x64) doesn’t really work with windows 11, because it doesn’t support x64 threading.
However, AMD does support it and, since they make their CPU platform open source, you can actually download an AMD driver that supports this new x64 architecture.
Which processor does support windows 11:
AMD CPU supports Window11
Intel CPU supports Window11
GMA APU support, will it support windows 11?

I’ll start this question off by saying that Intel and AMD are two different companies. However, Intel does support Windows 10.
Intel CPU supports Window11
GMA APU support, will it support windows 11?
There are two “officially supported” GMA APUs, the Radeon M3, and M4.
The Radeon M3, which you have seen in the “LOL, Windows 10 doesn’t work with me!” blog post, is the one I tested this question on, but I had to install the drivers for it, but you can usually just use the driver that comes with Windows.
The Radeon M4 is a full retail chip with integrated graphics, but you need to download and install the DRI_PRIME driver.
The Radeon M4 supports Windows 10, but won’t probably support windows 11.
It seems to me that there are some differences in how the two vendors handle the x64 vs x86 updates, but it’s difficult to say for sure. The AMD website shows an x64 processor with the same SPX enhancements, but the x86 processor won’t have all of those (it will not have SPX for the Bulldozer architecture), and also not on all supported AMD processors.
My guess is that the Radeon M4 probably will support Windows 10 for x64 processors, but not necessarily Windows 11. Intel CPU supports Window11.
GMA APU support, will it support windows 11?
The Intel website is just plain rubbish because they say both GMA and Atom processors will support windows 10, but there’s no real supported architecture listed, you can’t do a search for “x64” on their website and see what they say about GMA chips (or what their Atom processor page says about x86).
It seems that Atom chips are both (XP and Win7/8) and (Win10 and Win7/8).
The Atom processor is just a bad joke of an attempt to make it compatible with Windows 10. It doesn’t support any of the features of Windows 10 (well, except the desktop, in some form).
AMD official support page for W10
But, then again, if you search for x86 processors on AMD’s website you can find what they claim about the x86 processors:
You can search for all AMD APU architectures in the given language, and the one that shows up is listed here.
DRI_PRIME support, will it support windows 11?
There is a different DRI_PRIME vendor for AMD (they used to use this one, and it seems like they might be using it again, I don’t know)
You can find their support site here:
AMD DRI_PRIME Support
But, for the DRI_PRIME driver, there is one more thing to go by. It says:
AMD Kaveri APU (Braswell) is also supported by a DRI_PRIME kernel driver.
So, it looks like there are two Kaveri APUs that will support Windows 10, but not Windows 11, at least not on an x86 processor. However, if you have an x64 APU, you will be able to run it on x86 processors.
In short, the answer is yes.
I’ll go back to this question. The thing is that, as I mentioned in the previous question, Windows 10 doesn’t support x86 threads (threads on the CPU).
x86 CPUs don’t support Windows applications
It’s almost the same. There is no support for running Windows applications on x86 CPUs.
That’s why the only way to run Windows applications is to use Windows on an x64 processor, because x86 processors can run Windows applications in 32-bit mode, and, if you’re lucky, Windows will work in that mode.
This is not really an option anymore, but I don’t know why this hasn’t been fixed before now.
Getting Windows 10 installed on x64 Processors is not easy.
Really, it isn’t.
In fact, a friend of mine managed to get Windows 10 on a Windows 7, and only by employing Windows 10 Pro on a virtual machine and installing it on a brand new x64-based HP Elite x3 smartphone.
That doesn’t count any hardware that might be in the device, because if you buy a Windows phone, you’re likely to get it with some kind of drivers already installed (if you buy a cheap device or something that is supposed to be used as an HTPC or smart TV, you’re probably not going to be able to install Windows, at least not with the driver supplied).
You need to buy a Windows 8.1 ARM card
In fact, the only way to install Windows on a Windows 10 device (on an x86-based PC, at least) is to buy a Windows 10 ARM ARM/x86 hybrid/personal computer from the OEM, and then install it, in emulation mode, on a Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 x86-based system.
Which CPU supports Windows 11?
Which is to say that you will be using the emulator.
That is pretty much what you have to do to install Windows on an x64-based computer.
The only way to install Windows on an x86-based system is to install it on an x86-based personal computer (that you can buy with Windows pre-installed).
My friend already has an x86-based system (for which he bought a Windows 10 ARM/x86 hybrid/personal computer), and he installs Windows 10 on it. But, after he bought the Windows 10 ARM/x86 hybrid/personal computer, he got an ARM Linux version, so he still runs an x86 operating system, even though he runs Windows in emulated mode.
Now, you could say that, by running an x86 operating system, he’s running a Windows 10 device that’s not a desktop. But, if you think about it, you wouldn’t run Ubuntu on an iPhone 4s, would you? No, you wouldn’t.
So, what’s the difference?
In any case, the x86-based computer that he’s running in emulated mode doesn’t provide any kind of screen, keyboard, or mouse interface. He has to use the virtual keyboard and the virtual mouse, and it’s more inconvenient that it is just regular Windows 10.
In the end, it’s more of an annoyance, to be honest.
It’s really not worth it to go to the trouble of running Windows on an x86 processor if it isn’t a desktop.
