Windows 10: Intel Core i5 7200U Not Compatible?

Why is i5 7200U not compatible to upgrade to Windows 11? Is there any work around? Purchasing a new laptop is not an option.

Intel Gives Core i3 and Core i5 Dual-Core Processors K0 Stepping Update

Intel is giving some existing 32 nm "Clarkdale" based Core i3 and Core i5 processors an update. The processors will transition to the new K0 stepping from the existing C2 stepping. The parts that will be made on the K0 silicon are Core i3 models 530 (new sSPEC: SLBX7), 540 (new sSPEC: SLBTD) and Core i5 models 650 (new sSPEC: SLBTJ), 660/661 (SLBTK/SLBTB), 670 (SLBTL). Newer and upcoming models such as the i3-550, i3-560, i5-665K, and i5-680 are already being built on the K0 stepping die. Motherboards will require a BIOS update to support the new K0 stepping processors.

The K0 stepping change includes the following highlights:

• New S-spec and MM numbers for the converting products
• Extended CPUID will change from 0x00020652 to 0x00020655
• Host RevID will change from 0x12 to 0x18
• K0 stepping package is pin compatible with C2 stepping package
• Adds Processor Context ID (PCID) support

The revised older SKUs that are built on K0 stepping will be market-available by October 16.

Hello! Works intel Core i5 4690 on Windows xp

 

Windows 10 -- Intel (R) vs Intel i

You are exactly right.... it is i5

I misread... and typed in the incorrect specs

Intel (R) Core (TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50Ghz 2.71 GHz

Workstation Requirements

Laptop/Desktop:

• Speed: Dual-Core 2.8-GHz | Intel i class or higher
• Hard Drive: 60 GB usable memory or higher
  
• RAM: 4 GB or higher
• Operating System: Windows 10

Is there a way to increase the 2.71 GHz to 2.8 GHz ????

Thanking you in advance; I await your reply.
