Windows 10: I cannot upgrade to windows 11 even though i do have the required processor

I have the required processor, intel i-5 7400 3ghz. And i checked the requirement docs but i still cant get the message for update/nor get the green affirmative checkmark for the processor from the PC health app.

:)

 

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?

List of supported processors for Win 11:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...tel-processors

Is yours there?

Also note the message has links you can click. Did you do that? 'More about'...

Also note no TPM was detected.

Naturally you can upgrade to Win 11 by one means or another even with 'incompatible' devices, as has been documented on this forum multiple times. Someone's eve written a tutorial on that if you search/look around.

The restriction is implemented by the installer.

There is a nominal risk of so-called 'non-supported' systems not receiving upgrades or updates.

Is Win 11 better? Well, the taskbar is a lot less functional....

 

upgrade to windows 11 from windows 10

Welcome to Ten Forums sddfds

Windows 11 has not been released to the public yet. The only Windows 11 currently available is on the Insider Dev and Beta channels.

Whether or not you can upgrade your tablet from 10 to 11 very much depends on the specs of the tablet. Microsoft have increased the minimum required specification for Windows 11. In particular Windows 11 requires a minimum of 4GB RAM, an a UEFI bios with Secure Boot enabled and TPM 2.0 security. In addition, a supported processor is required, for Intel that means an 8th gen or newer CPU (with similar requirements for AMD processors). The full list of requirements are here...

https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/w...1-requirements

...and the lists of supported processors here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-h...r-requirements

Windows 11 setup or upgrade will check that the system meets the minimum requirements and will not install on a machine that is below spec. When 11 is released, Windows Update will not offer 11 as an optional update to machines that are below the minimum requirements.

Without knowing what tablet you have it's not possible to say if it can be upgraded. But as tablets tend to be at the lower end of the market the chances are that it cannot get the upgrade to Windows 11 when it is released. For machines that cannot run Windows 11 Microsoft has said that Windows 10 will continue to be supported until 2025.
