Windows 10: My processor is on the Windows 11 update supported list but the PC Health app says...

I have a Dell Latitude 5480 with a i7-7820 vPro processor which is decent for me and I don't plan to upgrade to another anytime soon. Is there a way I can update to Windows in a legitimate and intended way since my processor is on the supported list and I have all security and boot options enabled?

My processor is on the list Denis mentions

Yes, the i7-7500U is on the list of supported processors for Windows 10 20H2

What you are missing is that the Windows PC Health check is checking against the list of supported processors for Windows 11 - and yours is not on that list.

Microsoft | Windows 11 supported Intel processors

 

PC Health Check - Windows 11

To give a short answer, neither PC has a CPU that's on the current approved list.

Your desktop has a Gen 4 CPU. Win11 requires a Gen 8 or later. I hope that changes before release.

 

PC Health Check app buggy?

I already have both the secure boot and the TPM.



I now went through the list of supported processors and my i7-6650U is not on the list. The computer is 5 years old Microsoft Surface Pro. Bummer!
