Windows 10: IntelR CoreTM i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz 2.79 GHz not supported by Windows 11

Hi, I believe my processor is able to run Windows 11 as it satisfies published requirements, being an IntelR CoreTM i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz 2.79 GHz, however it may not be on your approved list, as PC Health Check reports it as Unsupported. Is this correct or may it be an omission and how could this be fixed? BTW I was not able to upload screen snippet with the pc specification from the "About" option from Settings .... Not sure why, I tried both PNG and JPEG.Thanks!***Moved from Office***

i7-7700 CPU with 3.60 GHZ not supported??

I have i7-7700 CPU with 3.60 GHZ. PC Health Check app checks all the requirements as compatible, but fails with CPU not supported. Is this CPU number a miss from the list? I see many other i7 (7800X, 8700, 9700) as supported. Wondering why 7700 is left out from the list.

 

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.60 GHz - is it eligible for windows 11?

Hi Windows Technical Support team,

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.60 GHz - is it eligible for windows 11?
As per the below article
Windows 11 System Requirements (microsoft.com)

• Processors/CPUs (Central Processing Units): 1 Ghz or faster with 2 or more cores and appearing on our list of approved CPUs. The processor in your PC will be a main determining factor for running Windows 11. The clock speed (the 1 Ghz or faster requirement) and number of cores (2 or more) are inherent to the processor design as it was manufactured and are not considered upgradable components.
  
  As per this description the above configuration is eligible for windows 11 upgrade
  
  but
  
  Windows processor requirements Windows 11 supported Intel processors | Microsoft Docs
  
  this is not mentioned in windows 11 supported processor list, hence it is not allowed to upgrade to window 11.
  

I also installed PC Health Check app to see if my PC can run Windows 11 or not, except the process not mentioned in eligible list, rest everything was green, that means it is compatible/eligible to upgrade to windows 11?

can you please check this?

 

windows 11 and i7-6700

My desktop is Dell Optiplex 7010 with i7 6700 @3,4 GHz (quote core).

Microsoft upgrade site showed me " this processor isnt currently supported for windows11"

however my laptop Asus vivobook A510U with i5 8th-Gen processor is supported for windows 11.

I think microsoft has made a mistake by claiming that;

• Processors/CPUs (Central Processing Units): 1 Ghz or faster with 2 or more cores. The processor in your PC will be a main determining factor for running Windows 11. The clock speed (the 1 Ghz or faster requirement) and number of cores (2 or more) are inherent to the processor design as it was manufactured and are not considered upgradable components.
  

It sounds like they base one the built generation 8th gen and above, instead of process clock speed or 2 core or above.
