Windows 10: Wanting to upgrade to Windows 11 but the MS PC check app says my processor isn't...

I went down the list of processors and my processor isn't listed. There are hundreds of processors on the list, but when they get to where mine would be, they skipped this one. The list goes from I7-13700T to i7-7800X? Is the

The minimum requirements for Windows 11 is at least 8th Gen processors. The processor you are using which isI Intel Corei7-6500 is a 6th Gen processor which is not included in the list of supported processors.

Here's the list of intel supported processor for Windows 11.

You can stay in Windows 10 it is still supported until year 2025, by that time you will have a new computer already.

However if you want to update your device to Windows 11, you can reach out to your computer manufacturer and have them check what is the compatible processor for processor replacement for your device to update to Windows 11.

Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.
