Microsoft announces processor requirements for Windows 10 1909

Microsoft is expected to release the Windows 10 Version 1909 update in the middle of next month. The current version of the image file can also be downloaded directly. This version will be released as a cumulative update for Windows 10 Version 1903. At the upcoming release, Microsoft also announced the processor requirements for the new version. In theory, as long as it is not a particularly old processor, it can be successfully compatible with this version.
