As a result, Windows 11 has updated hardware requirements which will be reflected in the Windows Insider Program. For Windows to move forward and take better advantage of the latest innovations, we need to update the baseline system requirements for modern PCs. Since launching Windows 10 six years ago, a lot of hardware innovation has happened in the PC space. However ahead of that release – we wanted to let Insiders know of a few changes we are making to how they will receive Windows 11 Insider Preview builds going forward. Today, we unveiled Windows 11 to the world, and we know Windows Insiders are super excited to get their hands on it! As Panos mentions here, we plan to release the first Insider Preview build for Windows 11 next week. Given this it may not be possible to hit the magical 7.9 score just yet.UPDATE 6/28 at 12:30pm PDT: See this blog post on an update on Windows 11 minimum system requirements. Oh, and a RAID 0 array of really fast drives, maybe SSDs. I'm sure you'd also need a quad-GPU graphics card too. Maybe an insane overclock on the 965 would work, but that only goes so far. As far as I can tell the Core i7 Extreme 965 doesn't score a 7.9, in which case to get a high score for the CPU you'd need an 8-core dual-CPU rig like a Skulltrail, but that platform doesn't support SLI or Crossfire, so you'd be hit on the graphics side. To be honest, it might not be possible right now. I've yet to see a system that scores a full 7.9 under Windows 7.

As guidance, Microsoft claim that most quad-core CPUs will be able to hit high 6 to low 7 range, with 8-core rigs able to approach 7.9.

Hard drive scores for drives exhibiting what Microsoft calls "problematic" have been capped under Beta 1 of Windows 7.

DirectX 9 support only, along with WDDM 1.0 drivers, will cap score at 5.9.

to score a 6 or 7 in terms of gaming graphics, a system will have to support DirectX 10 and WDDM 1.1 driver.

WEI scores of 6 and 7 represent high end systems.

The scoring rules have been changed, which means that scores on identical hardware relative to Vista might not be the same.

This takes into account faster hardware that's been released since Vista went RTM.

Windows 7 raises the top WEI score from 5.9 to 7.9.

I've talked before about WEI in Vista so I won't cover that ground again (refer to this post for background information), but I will take a look at some of the most significant changes to WEI in Windows 7. The Windows Experience Index (also known as WEI) is a suite of system tests that give the end user an idea of the performance capabilities of their PC. Microsoft has lifted the veil on some of the changes made to the Windows Experience Index system in Windows 7.
