Windows 10: PC hEalth check incorrect ACer i7 6700HQ is listed as ok

Please let me know why my acer with intel i7 6700HQ is NOT ok for windows 11 upgrade as pc health checker states. AND it is on the list of compatible chips - see below - or is it another pretence to get us all to buy a new PC when they work absolutely fine. No other incompatibilities listed so in my mind - and that of the detail on PC health check and WINDOWS current list of acceptable chips - it is suitable - so explain that one

:)

 

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!

 

health check

MS has supposedly updated the PC Health check app to provide some additional information.

If your I7 isn't Generation 8 or newer, it'll be flagged as incompatible. Even if it has much higher capabilities than listed in the hardware requirements.

 

PC Health check

My PC Health check suggests I install a clean version of windows. But, the warnings are

• Fresh start removes third-party antivirus software and all apps that don't come standard with Windows. This includes Microsoft apps such as Office, any desktop apps that came preinstalled on your device, and any Windows desktop apps, such
  as your device manufacturer's apps, support apps, and drivers. It keeps only Microsoft Store apps that your manufacturer installed.
• You won't be able to recover the apps that are removed. You'll need to manually reinstall them.
• You may lose your digital licenses, digital content associated with apps, or other digital entitlements for apps, which may impact your ability to use apps or app-related content that you paid for.

Can I please clarify this? Does it mean I will lose all my Microsoft office software and printer drivers? It hardly seems worth the trouble. is there a way I can just clean up my current version of windows? Many thanks.
