Windows 10: My CPU does not meet the necessary requirement for Win11??

just saw the message came up when i tried to upgrade to Win11 and this..Why....?

:)

 

Why can't my Processor meet requirement for a Win 11 Upgrade ???

In the run up to the release of Win11, this question was asked many, many times. It has nothing to do with CPU raw performance, really. It has to do with newer CPU's having features that enable MS to implement what they say are security enhancing measures. This is along with TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. Win11 will run, and perhaps run well, on earlier generations processors, but they won't be able to accomodate MS's new security model as it is rolled out in future months/years, at least not without a potentially serious performance hit. So you can run Win11 if you want, but MS will not support it. So far, at least, non-compliant machines have been getting updates, but MS reserves the right to cut that off at any time.

As I have a non-compliant CPU (i5 7400 @3.5 GHz), this is one reason why I have abandoned Win11. IAC Win10 is supported until October 2025. The other reason I have abandoned Win11 is that there are UI elements that I dislike. Win10 is fine for me, and runs beautifully on this machine. I am glad it will be supported until 2025. We will review the situation at that time...

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

System requirement doesn't meet base CPU speed but meets turbo

So I have a laptop with CPU Intel Core i7-6500U. The specs say that its speed is 2.5GHz and extendable upto 3.1GHz.

A game's minimum requirement is CPU 2 Duo 2.9GHz.
I tried to run the game but it didn't. Is it because of the CPU speed doesn't meet the requirement at base speed..??

Also, the game showed itself in the processes tab.

Can we manually increase CPU speed..?
