Windows 10: AMD Zen 3 processor not supported by Windows 11?

Hello,I just did the Windows Health Report in order to find out if my PC is compatible with Windows 11 and the results are a bit confusing.The report states that my PC is compatible with Windows 11 and I am able to update through Windows Update, but further down in the report it says "CPU not supported for Windows 11". I'm using a Ryzen 7 5700X processor.A Microsoft representative said my CPU generation is not supproted because it lacks some features that only newer processors have.It is true that my CPU is not listed in the article with the list of supported AMD processors, but a lot of older

:)

Hello JamesAHill4,

Good day! I'm John and I'll be happy to assist you today. I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.

This is to meet Microsoft principles about security and reliability.

There has been no new announcement from Microsoft yet if they plan to add more processors to the list. I recommend reaching out to your Original Equipment Manufacturer as they will be able to provide you with information regarding any options you may have for upgrading your device's current processor.

You may need to consider using Windows 10 as it continues to be a great version of Windows. Microsoft is committed to supporting Windows 10 through October 14, 2025.

Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.

Kind regards,

Windows 11 Supported AMD Processors

My AMD CPU was listed the original Windows 11 supported CPU list. When the list was updated for Windows 11 22H2, my CPU is no longer listed. It also disappeared from the 21H2 list. I don’t get any unsupported hardware messages, but I do find it odd it’s now missing. My CPU is a AMD Threadripper Pro 3945WX.
