Windows 10: Why doesn't Microsoft just require intel i7 processors have more memory to be able to run...

my computer runs flawlessly with windows 10 I hate upgrading. hardware since I almost always lose some functionality. windows 10 was windows first OS that I used that I had very few issues with! I'm also old school started with DOS / Windows 3.0! still keep old computers around to play the old games that windows 10 cannot handle!

Intel Core i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz Processor

I am currently running Windows 10 Pro (Version 21H1) on my Alienware Aurora R6 Desktop PC. When I run the compatibility test, the PC meets all the requirements, except the processor (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz[Cores 4] [Logical processors 8]). The test indicates this process doesn't meet the requirements, yet this processor is listed on the approved list.

Can I upgrade?

 

Why Intel i7-7820HK processor is not included for windows 11 update list, as Intel i7-7820HQ included, then why not i7-7820HK?

Why Intel i7-7820HK processor is not included for windows 11 update list, as Intel i7-7820HQ included, then why not i7-7820HK? Technically all the requirement is met by i7-7820HK and also is faster than Intel i7-7820HQ. This is not good. This is rather partiality.

 

Intel Core i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00 Ghz processor Windows 11 Compatible?

I just ran Microsoft's "PC Health Check" on my desktop pc to check for Windows 11 compatibility and it says the processor doesn't meet the required specifications. I have Intel Core i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00 Ghz processor. Everything else passed the testing.

However, when I check the processor requirements, the Intel Core i7-6700K CPU is listed as meeting the requirements. Can someone explain this?

I am running Windows 10 Pro, version 21H1, 64 bit, with 32 GB ram.
