Processor not compatible for Windows 11 Upgrade

Hello, My Dell Inspiron laptop meets all criteria listed in the website for Windows 11 upgrade. The processor (AMD Ryzen5 2500U) meets all criteria such as Processsor speed, number of cores etc meet reqd specs. Still the 'compatibility check tool has declared my PC not compatible for Win 11 upgrade citing processor incompatibility.. What could be the reason? Is there any solution to upgrade my PC to Windows 11 without changing the processor? Please guide.

 

Windows 11 upgrade compatibility.

Hello, how are you?

My name is Paloma B., I am very happy to be able to try to help you in the best possible way.

This is an open community, whenever you need you can share the problem so that possible repairs are suggested.

Unfortunately MS released the list as official, and will not have updates to include non-compatible processors.

In addition to UEFI, TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, to support Windows 11 the Processor must have a feature called VBS or Windows Memory Integrity, but those that are not on the list do not support this.

That's why MS decided not to include these processors in the list, as it can generate a lot of performance problems.

It is even possible to install Windows 11 manually, but it is not recommended as it is not worth it.

Anyway, Windows 10 will be compatible until 2025, the recommendation is to keep it, if you keep using this processor.

If for some reason you upgrade your processor to a newer and more compatible model, then yes, it is recommended that you upgrade to Windows 11.

I'm afraid if the processor isn't on this list it has been determined as not compatible
