Hello,

The first version of R after the release of Windows 11 (2021-10-05) was 
R-4.1.2 (2021-11-01).
See [1]

Hope this helps,

Jacob,

I am curious about your request for a "minimum" and it makes me wonder
what
aspects of switching to Windows 11 from earlier versions (no longer being
supported around now) have some impact on R.

Many people want to be running as recent a version of R as possible, albeit
there can be problems with having packages that have not been updated to run
on that version. For some purposes, you may want to freeze in everything
from an exact moment in time or have others replicate that configuration as
that is guaranteed to work for your purposes.

So, I was wondering about your request. I would think that pretty much all
versions of R going back years would work on Windows 11 with some possible
exceptions if you use some functionality that has changed.

Many people get R installed already compiled. Some can get the source code
and compile it locally. I wonder if there is a difference there. I suspect
you want the former and indeed there may not have been very old versions of
R set up for downloading on Windows 11.
