ASUS has started releasing BIOS updates that will add motherboard support for Windows 11. The new updates will bring out Windows 11 support to even those processors that are not compatible with the new version of OS.

The company has not done a lot to remove that confusion, in fact, it has added to the confusion. Users are not sure if they have to replace their hardware. Meanwhile, the new updates from ASUS further add to confusion. Since they are reported to add support to Intel CPUs that Microsoft doesn’t officially support for the release. These CPUs include Skylake (6th Gen) and Kaby Lake (7th Gen). As per Microsoft, 8th Gen and above Intel CPUs are supported by Windows 11.

It also launched a hub page with compatibility status for a number of its motherboard releases.
