Windows 10: Why is my Lenovo laptop with I7 6500U 2.5GH with 8GB RAM not eligible for Win 11?

I meet the # of cores, speed, RAM, everything-- is there a valid reason for excluding me, or is there a way to circumvent the restriction for my laptop- YOGA 900-13ISK?

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.60 GHz - is it eligible for windows 11?

Hi Windows Technical Support team,

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.60 GHz - is it eligible for windows 11?
As per the below article
Windows 11 System Requirements (microsoft.com)

• Processors/CPUs (Central Processing Units): 1 Ghz or faster with 2 or more cores and appearing on our list of approved CPUs. The processor in your PC will be a main determining factor for running Windows 11. The clock speed (the 1 Ghz or faster requirement) and number of cores (2 or more) are inherent to the processor design as it was manufactured and are not considered upgradable components.
  
  As per this description the above configuration is eligible for windows 11 upgrade
  
  but
  
  Windows processor requirements Windows 11 supported Intel processors | Microsoft Docs
  
  this is not mentioned in windows 11 supported processor list, hence it is not allowed to upgrade to window 11.
  

I also installed PC Health Check app to see if my PC can run Windows 11 or not, except the process not mentioned in eligible list, rest everything was green, that means it is compatible/eligible to upgrade to windows 11?

can you please check this?

 

2 year old Dell Laptop - can't upgrade to Windows 11 - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU

I'm very disappointed to learn that my 2 year old laptop from Dell can not install Windows 11.

Originally it was unable to due to the TPM security stuff, but after going into the BIOS I was able to follow the recommended steps by Microsoft to resolve that issue.

Is there any chance I can still upgrade to Windows 11, or perhaps Windows will support the Intel Core i7-6500U CPU @ 2.5 Ghz in the near future... seems a real shame for such a recent machine to not be supported with this latest OS update.

Windows 11 on Intel Core i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz

My Dell Inspiron 13-7359 notebook PC has all the hardware and software required for Windows 11, except the Intel Core i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz. When is Microsoft going to support Windows 11 on the Intel Core i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50 Ghz?
