    Processor not compatible for Windows 11 Upgrade

    Hello, My Dell Inspiron laptop meets all criteria listed in the website for Windows 11 upgrade. The processor (AMD Ryzen5 2500U) meets all criteria such as Processsor speed, number of cores etc meet reqd specs. Still the 'compatibility check tool has declared my PC not compatible for Win 11 upgrade citing processor incompatibility.. What could be the reason? Is there any solution to upgrade my PC to Windows 11 without changing the processor? Please guide.

    i7-6600U processor not compatible with windows11?

    This is frustrating and irritating to see that i7 6th and 7th gen processors are not compatible for windows 11 upgrade. This is not convenient to change high end machines just after 4-5years just to make compatible with upgraded OS. Quite disappointed with MS.
