Yes, the i7-7500U is on the list of supported processors for Windows 10 20H2

What you are missing is that the Windows PC Health check is checking against the list of supported processors for Windows 11 - and yours is not on that list.

Microsoft | Windows 11 supported Intel processors

 

Why can't my Processor meet requirement for a Win 11 Upgrade ???

I'm confused about a notification from Microsoft about upgrading to win 11. The notification said my PC doesn't meet a requirement which makes 0 sense. It says my CPU isn't on an approved list of CPUs. But my processor is crazy fast. How is this possible?

Below is a screenshot of what it claims I require although again it makes 0 sense. Can someone tell me if this is a joke from Microsoft or is this a mistake? Is win 11 all that and better than 10?

FYI, the Windows 11 Forums are live and well *Wink

@TenGetsYou5, though the checker correctly listed the 17-7500U as unsupported, you can still install the OS as it's still in beta form. However, as noted come October, things may change, and you may be required to revert back to Windows 10. For that reason, you may want to created a Windows 10 image "before" upgrading to 11.

That said, I'm currently running Windows 11 on both a laptop (i7-7600U) and desktop (i7-7700K) running i7 processors.

Good luck *Smile
