Windows 10: I need to upgrade my CPU for windows 11 but can't find a compatible CPU

I build my own computers but the place I choose parts does not show any 8th generation CPUs - how am I supposed to verify my computer's compatibility?

:)

 

CPU is not compatible?

Your CPU model is not on Windows 11 CPU compatibility list, so it is not compatible and/or supported.

You can see the supported CPU models on the links below

CPU not compatible to upgrade to windows 11.

Hello,

My PC has a I7-7500U CPU installed which is on the compatible list of processors that can run windows 11, however when I run the PC Health Check to see if I can upgrade the software it's saying that the CPU is not compatible. Mine is clearly listed as being compatible.

See this link provided by Microsoft.

Windows processor requirements Windows 11 supported Intel processors | Microsoft Docs

All the other checks carried out by the PC health check come back as green ticks for compatibility.

Has anyone come across this and how do I resolve it. I have spoken to Microsoft and they gave me a load of flannel about the hardware manufacture. I checked on the HP website for compatibility and they say the chip set in my PC is easily able to run the new operating system.

It would seem that the software doesn't actually match what is on the Microsoft Site.

Kind Regards

Ian.

 

CPU upgrade to make pc windows 11 compatible

I currently have a HP Pavilion Desktop PC 570-p033. Product number Z5N87AA#ABA. My CPU is 7th Generation Intel Core I7-7700. My motherboard is HP82F200 with a 1151LGA CPU slot. Windows 10. PC health check says my machine as it is now cannot be updated to Windows 11. My question is can I replace the CPU with a 8th generation Intel Core I7-8700 which according to the CPU compatibility list is supported by windows 11.
