Windows 10: Win 11 processor compatibility

Hi,Am really dissappointed about Win 11 support for my laptop which is currently about 4 years old and cost around 2600 US dollar at the time, an Acer Predator with I7-7700HQ, 16Gb Ram 512GB SSD, the laptop fulfills all Win 11 requirements , TPM, Secureboot, DirectX12 etc, however my processor is not supported, while the Surface Studio 2 who has an I7-7820HQ is supported and the differences between both processors are totally negligible.I7-7820HQ: 4 Cores, 8 Threads @2.90 GHz, Kaby Lake.I7-7700HQ: 4 Cores, 8 Threads @2.80 GHz, Kaby Lake Therefore I ask you to review Win

Win 11 compatibility

You do not need to reply to me. You can post in this thread to get the benefit of everybody's wisdom. Such as that of Bree who has also read the Windows 11 section of Windows Processor Requirements - MSDocs and has identified that your CPU is not listed there.

Win 11 compat app

Both your CPU and graphics card should be ok- your CPU is on the list:
Windows 11 CPU List Released | WePC

and your graphics card is new enough to support DirectX 12.

These requirements are set by the installer of Win 11. Detailed specs for Win 11 have been released by MS and are given in other such threads here and on elevenforum, but may change slightly before official release.
