Valorant Cheat Requirements: Windows and Security Checklist
A structured compatibility review that separates product requirements from Riot and Microsoft documentation.
Keep product and platform requirements separate
One checklist comes from the product summary and another from the game and operating system. Combining them creates bad advice. This page records the supplied product baseline while linking to the official documentation that governs VALORANT and Windows.
Product-supplied baseline
The supplied product requirements name Windows 10 21H2 and 22H2; Windows 11 21H2, 22H2, 23H2 and 24H2; an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 or better; an Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580 or better; 8GB RAM minimum with 16GB recommended; 500MB free storage; a stable authentication connection; HVCI, Core Isolation, TPM and Secure Boot. Cloud DMA is required for full functionality.
HVCI and Core Isolation
Microsoft calls HVCI “Memory integrity” and places it under Windows Security > Device security > Core isolation details. Microsoft also warns that incompatible drivers can cause problems after it is enabled. Read Microsoft’s Memory integrity guidance before changing a security setting.
TPM and Secure Boot
TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are firmware questions, not product marketing labels. Microsoft’s Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirements explains the Windows 11 context, while Riot documents TPM 2.0 and UEFI Secure Boot for Windows 11 VALORANT systems in its VALORANT PC specifications. Use the troubleshooting checklist to collect the exact system facts before contacting support.
