Windows 11 Upgrade Path Cleared for Intel 11th Gen Core Users
In a much-anticipated development, the technical barrier that hindered users with Intel 11th Gen Core processors from embracing Windows 11 has been overcome. The crux of the matter revolved around compatibility complications with Intel Smart Sound Technology (SST) drivers which, for a considerable span of over two years, have imposed an upgrade halt on specific devices.
Microsoft has discreetly conveyed assurances that the aforementioned predicaments with the Intel SST drivers are now “resolved externally”. This resolution eliminates the previous compatibility hold that affected systems equipped with both an Intel 11th Gen Core processor and particular iterations of the Intel SST driver.
The removal of the compatibility hold is a significant stride forward, unlocking the pathway for users of these systems to proceed with upgrading to Windows 11. With this impediment lifted, a broader audience can now leverage the advanced features and enhanced security that Windows 11 promises to deliver.
