There is very little time left until Microsoft releases the spring update for your operating system. It will presumably be on May 28 when we find out, among other aspects, the name with which said update will arrive.

And while that moment arrives, we are learning some extremely interesting details. We have already seen how everything indicates that it will not be a very heavy update and now it is time to know the requirements that the teams that want to access it must meet, at least in terms of processors refers to

Few changes and some absences

We are talking about the processor requirements, a list that for Windows 10 version 2004 grows with the arrival of the AMD Ryzen 4000 series of processors. Along with this series, they are also supported AMD processors up to 7th generation (A-series Ax-9xxx, E-series Ex-9xxx, and FX-9xxx), Athlon 2xx, Opteron, and EPYC 7xxx.

These AMD processors are added to the already known Intel, Intel Core processors up to tenth generation, the Intel Xeon E- 22xx, Atom (J4xxx/J5xxx and N4xxx/N5xxx), Celeron and Pentium. For its part, the American firm Qualcomm is present with the well-known Snapdragon 850 and the Snapdragon 8cx

An extensive list in which no absences are noted. This is the case of the AMD Athlon 3000, or in the case of Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 7c and Snapdragon 8c. This is the list to make it easier to check if your processor is among those chosen:

  • Intel 10th generation and earlier processors.
  • Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 / i9-10xxx.
  • Intel Xeon E-22xx.
  • Intel Atom (J4xxx / J5xxx and N4xxx / N5xxx).
  • Celeron and Pentium processors.
  • AMD 7th generation and earlier processors.
  • Series A Ax-9xxx and Series E Ex-9xxx, FX-9xxx.
  • AMD Athlon 2xx.
  • AMD Ryzen 3/5/7 4xxx.
  • AMD Opteron.
  • AMD EPYC 7xxx.
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 and 8cx series.

These are brands and models, since if we talk about specifications, all of these must meet a minimum, such as have a minimum speed of 1 GHz, that supports x64 architecture, and also supports PAE, PX, SSE2, CMPXCHG16b, LAHF / SAHF and PrefetchW.Also keep in mind that Microsoft has phased out 32-bit versions of Windows 10 and all OEMs must use 64-bit versions of Windows 10.

In any case and despite the changes, if you are using a recent version of Windows 10 on your PC from Windows 10 November 2019 Update](https://www.xatakawindows.com/windows/windows-10-november-2019-update-esta-disponible-estas-su-novedades-so-you-can-install it), you should have no problem accessing to the spring 2020 update.
