Microsoft has released a new document explaining the minimum hardware and firmware requirements to create a “highly secure” Windows 10 device.
If you’ve got a Surface Pro 4, which has a sixth-generation Intel processor, it doesn’t meet Microsoft’s newly published standard.
“Systems must be on the latest, certified silicon chip for the current release of Windows,” Microsoft notes on the issue of processor generations.
These chips includes Intel’s seventh-generation Intel Core i3, i5, i7, i9, M3, and Xeon processors, as well as current Intel Atom, Celeron and Pentium processors.
