Windows 10: Intel Core i7 6560U CPU 2.20GHz compatible with windows 11?

I have an Intel Core i7 6560U CPU 2.20GHz and according to MICROSOFT's specs it IS compatible with windows 11. PC health keeps telling me it’s NOT compatible. How do we fix this glitch or work around it?

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.

Intel Core i7-7500 CPU Not Supported For Windows 11

I have a Lenovo Yoga 910 Laptop with an Intel Core i7-7500 2.7 GHZ 2-core CPU. I was surprised to see that it is not compatible with Windows 11. This CPU surpasses the minimum requirement. This is very disappointing, and seems like a way to get people to buy new computers.

I would like to know why this CPU is not compatible.

Intel Core i7-7500 CPU Not Supported For Windows 11

No one really knows. Your computer should pass all of the hardware security requirements. Chances are, they are already enabled (UEFI BIOS, secure boot, TPM 2.0, and availability of virtualization based security).

People have guessed and speculated one thing or another. Could be, for example, that the device drivers don't meet the new bla bla bla "principles," which supposedly improve reliability. Even though they really don't, that anyone would ever notice.

The arbitrary rules are, only three Intel Core i7 processors of the 7th generation have been added to the list, and they are all three in the 78xx series. So, your 7500 is not on the list, and highly unlikely that Microsoft will add any more. The general rule is Intel Core processors of 8th generation or newer.
