Windows 10: Why doesn't my processor meet Win 11 Requirements?

Hi it's an intel core i5-6200U CPU@ 2.3GHz, I can enable tpm and secure boot; it meets all other requirements in the MS PC health check. So please can you tell me whats wrong?

:)

 

Why can't my Processor meet requirement for a Win 11 Upgrade ???

I'm confused about a notification from Microsoft about upgrading to win 11. The notification said my PC doesn't meet a requirement which makes 0 sense. It says my CPU isn't on an approved list of CPUs. But my processor is crazy fast. How is this possible? Below is a screenshot of what it claims I require although again it makes 0 sense. Can someone tell me if this is a joke from Microsoft or is this a mistake? Is win 11 all that and better than 10?

 

The Ryzen 5 2500U processor seems to meet Windows 11 requirements but isn't on the list of supported processors, why is this processor excluded?

The Ryzen 5 2500U processor seems to meet Windows 11 requirements but isn't on the list of supported processors, will the list of be updated to include the Ryzen5 2500U, if not, what is the reason for exclusion?

 

Win 11 processor requirements

Your processor is unsupported for Windows 11.

The compatible CPU list will not be updated.

Microsoft had tested every CPU and probably, they didn't get good results from your one.

Update on Windows 11 minimum system requirements and ... https://blogs.windows.com › 2021/08/27 › update-on-w...

But, if you have all other requirements met, you can clean install Windows 11.

But, before proceeding, read this:

Installing Windows 11 on devices that don't meet minimum system requirements (microsoft.com)

If you accept the risks and want to upgrade, refer the Warning under Other ways to install Windows 11 section here:

Ways to install Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

You can upgrade your processor. For Intel, 8th Gen or later are best for Windows 11.

Otherwise, you can stay with Window 10. It will be supported until October 2025.
