Windows 10: Processor IntelR CoreTM i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2801 Mhz, 4 Cores, 8 Logical Processors

Why I can't install Windows 11 on this processor?Processor IntelR CoreTM i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2801 Mhz, 4 Cores, 8 Logical Processors

:)

 

will Windows 10 ever support 4 cores, 8 logical processors?

several thoughts about your comment:

1) In that link, the 32 cores and 256 cores is when he is referring to Win8 not Win10. Win10 is downgraded to 2 cores according to him.

2) when I do a "msinfo32.exe" on my computer, I get "Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)". So, I would think Microsoft would know what is on my computer, 4 cores 8 processors.

 

1 Cpu processor running instead of 8 processors

The spec shows an Intel Core i7-7700HQ which is a single processor with 4 Cores and 8 Threads.

Can you post a screenshot of Task Manager Performance tab and select CPU.

no, I don't believe I have 4 processors. I believe I have 4 cores (i.e. 4 cpu's with) 8 logical processors as shown by msinfo32.exe
