Windows 10: I have the intel core i7 4700 processor why is that not compatible with windows 11

I have the intel core i7 4700 processor why is that not compatible with windows 11 when the new computer I am going to by has the same processor and comes with windows 11? I asked DEll support and they don't know why either?

hi why intel core i7-3840qm processor is not compatible with windows 11

my processor meets the minimum requirements for speed and number of cores

intel core i7-3840qm 4 cores 2.8 GHz

Because it is not on the list of acceptable processors , it is being blocked from possible upgrade to windows 11

its not on windows 10 21h2 list either but it has been never denied an upgrade and runs just fine .

 

Intel Core i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00 Ghz processor Windows 11 Compatible?

I just ran Microsoft's "PC Health Check" on my desktop pc to check for Windows 11 compatibility and it says the processor doesn't meet the required specifications. I have Intel Core i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00 Ghz processor. Everything else passed the testing.

However, when I check the processor requirements, the Intel Core i7-6700K CPU is listed as meeting the requirements. Can someone explain this?

I am running Windows 10 Pro, version 21H1, 64 bit, with 32 GB ram.

"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.
