Windows 10: Are there plans to bring Intel Core i7-7920HQ Processor to WIndows 11 at some point?

Are there plans to bring Intel Core i7-7920HQ Processor to WIndows 11 at some point? Is there a list of all the processors coming available to Win 11 in 2023 or has the migration development essentially completed and moving onto something else?

Intel Core i7-7920HQ Processor

I am running a Dell Precision 7720 with an Intel i7-7920HQ @3.10GHz. Running the PC Health for Windows upgrade from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 says everything is fine to upgrade except the processor however, when looking at Microsoft Windows support processors for upgrade on Windows 10 21H2 under Supported Intel Processors this processor is listed.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...ed/windows-10-21h1-supported-intel-processors

Is this processor supported or not? Could someone let me know if they have successfully upgraded with this processor? Frustrating that a three year old computer would not be supported but an eight year old computer I own is supported for the upgrade? Why does that make sense?

Thank you for any help!

 

Intel Core i7-7920HQ Processor

Hi RoseP,

I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

This processor is not on the Windows 11 supported Intel processors list, as you can see in the link below.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardwa...

The list you sent is for Windows 10 21H2, not Windows 11.

You can still install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, but this is not recommended and you will not be able to receive updates, more information in the link below

What is the processor of this eight-year computer that you said is compatible?

 

"New" 12th generation Intel Core i7-1255U not on "Windows 11 supported Intel processors" list

This seems like to prevents me from install Windows 11 22H2 patch 5017321 on my brand new Acer Aspire 5 Intel Core i7-1255U, that was OEM-preinstalled with Windows 11. After multiple attempt on Windows Update, no suggestion on new update appeared. Tried with "Windows Update Catalogue" but got a message that prevent install (Like: This installer not applicable for your device")

Note: I was able earlier via Windows Update to update earlier pacthes and drivers for this laptop but as mentioned above not the latest one.

Is the reason for my trouble the absent of "my "processor" in Windows 11 supported Intel processors list and will it be presented or newer on that list?

Strange, because "my" processor is has newer generation Intel Core i7 than what is on that list now.
