Our official recommendation for Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system will be reflected in this article that we plan to update regularly.
Please note that the official Windows 11 system requirements have increased and require e.g. an available and active Trusted Platform Module 2.0! A list of compatible processors is available at:
The system compatibility can be checked using the PC Health Check app. The app can be downloaded using this link.
Please ensure that you always use the latest updates available for our products!
Important:
Newer versions of the listed products below are usually always automatically compatible, and thus are not listed separately here.
Older products which are not listed do not support Windows 11 and consequently, no further updates are planned.
