Microsoft's official statement is that my CPU should be supported, because Windows 11's CPU requirement is 1 GHz, and my CPU is 1.5 GHz. The first line says the CPU is unsupported, while the last line says the CPU is supported. YES: The processor clock speed is 1 GHz or faster. YES: The processor has two or more cores.

YES: There is at least 4 GB of system memory (RAM). NO: This processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11. This is the results from Microsoft's PC Health Check app: Microsoft's updated 'PC Health Check' (currently available to Insiders, to be released to the public shortly) indicates that the computer is eligible for upgrade to Windows 11. So, how can the CPU meet the minimum requirements, but be not supported at the same time? The computer is on Dell's list of computers being tested for Windows 11 compatibility, and Dell will, in all likelihood, provide Windows 11 drivers for the computer. "This processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11." "The processor clock speed is 1Ghz or faster." To my utter surprise, I found they made an exception for 3 Intel 7th gen processors: referenced here (highlighted in the screenshot). What will happen, if i install Windows 11 on my laptop?Īlso, i have one more question. 'No-bypass' Windows 11 for Intel 7th gen i7 processors At this point, we already know Microsoft has decided to let users have an official update of Windows 11 for 8th gen Intel processors and later. the problem is that in a few years they will stop updating and all the apps wont be available anymore for windows 10.īesides being a lil angry with microsoft i'd like to get win 11, so i would like to know if theres or therell be a way to get win11 on 7th gen cpus.According to Microsoft's PC Health Check app, my low-end laptop supports every requirement, except the CPU. Ive tried Windows 11 multiple times and it performs horribly compared to Windows 10. So a dated system but not underpowered in any stretch.

third, i wouldnt really care about windows 11 since many of it's feature are useless, annoying and they slow down pc. Hi, I have learned that Microsoft has excluded all Intel processors prior to 8th generation from their current Windows 11 upgrade. I have an Intel i7 8700K, NVME 1TB SSD, GTX 1080ti, 16GB DDR4. So everyone will have to modify their pc or if its a laptop buy a new one and throw away old equipment polluting the environment. second, they said "we care about envoiroment and blah blah" with a cringe announcement and then they dont allow their users to use their new os only because users dont have a fucking cpu gen or a fucking tpm 2 chip, which is useless. first, i understand that maybe an i3 7th gen suck nowdays but like an i7 7th gen is still very very good. Hi people, I have seen the new windows 11 announcement and i understood it only supports 8th and over generation cpus.
