Windows 10: Updater says I'm Win11 compatible - ...Health Checker says No.

Hi,Running some updates on a very old laptop and until now, my updater has always said incompatible with Win11 - as it should according to the fact it has a 7th Gen intel CPU.It has suddenly started telling me it is now compatible, but the health checker maintains that it is not.I'm curious to see what happens if I try...but my real question is, is it compatible or not?! Has anything changed in terms of the required specs?

:)

 

i7-7700 is on the updated list of compatable cpu's, yet the health check says not compatable. Is the pc health check not updated?

Splash screen says "this PC is unable to run windows 10" - Compatibility report says "You're Good to Go"

I have a weird issue where the Windows 10 App is giving different information depending on what screen I am on.

When I first open the app it says "Unfortunately, this PC is unable to run Windows 10" (See screen shot below)



So I click on the "View Report" to check the compatibility issue and I get a clean bill of health saying "You're good to go, Your PC will work with Windows 10"



What gives? I have not seen the temp folder showing that any files are getting downloaded in preparation for an install.

Background:

• The first time the compatibility report ran I had the widely reported issue of the CPU being reported as incompatible. I followed the instructions for forcing the patch for the App to be installed and I forced the compatibility checker to be re-run by following
  the steps over here How to Fix: CPU Not Compatible with Windows 10 Error (steps that are also suggested on this forum)
  • for whatever reason I got a confirmation saying that the compatibility checker had run in the command prompt but when I opened the app the last run day was from over a month ago and it still listed my CPU as being incompatible
  • Tried several more times with the same result
• When the Launch date happened the App must have run itself as the "last run" date changed to 7/29 and the compatibility check says I am all good. But the splash screen still says this PC is unable to run windows 10
• Uninstalling the app and re-downloading the necessary KB's doesn't fix the problem

System info:

• Lenovo W520 4270CTO
• CPU: i7-2960XM @ 2.70 GHz
• Video Card - Intel HD Graphics
• Video Card Discrete - NVIDIA Quadro 2000M
• Windows 7 SP1 64 bit

Any thoughts / suggestions? Thanks!

 

Windows 11 CPU Compatibility

I have a Microsoft Surface with an i7-6650U, 16GB RAM, 256GB nVME SSD running Windows 10 21H1 build 19044.1348. My CPU is listed on the supported processor list but when I run the PC Health Checker it says my processor is not compatible with Win11. Any ideas?
