Windows 10: Win11 not accepting my Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ processor, which is on the approved CPU list

MelissaStone3 · Jan 15, 2022

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 11 and despite my processor Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ being on the approved CPU list, I continue to get the below message during setup. I don't want to click Accept and risk not getting Windows updates. I've tried to refresh compatibility in WU as shown in this article https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-11-not-accepting-my-athalon-3000g/2ab03d92-6291-4653-b2c6-14496f44b69a, but it didn't work for me. I see others having similar issues with other processors that are on the approved list. Has Microsoft provided a fix for this issue yet

:)

Intel 5GHz Core i7-8086K anniversary processor listed by retailers

Last month, a rumor emerged that Intel was preparing a special anniversary edition Core i7-8086K processor – to mark the 40th birthday of the release of the first 8086 chip on June 8, 1978 – and now multiple retailer listings for the CPU are being spotted.

As Videocardz reports, the niftily-named Core i7-8086K has been listed by Italian, Canadian and US retailers amongst others, and according to these product listings, the price is set to be about €480 or $480 (around £360, AU$640). That’s about $70 (around £50, AU$95) more than Intel’s Core i7-8700K.

Of course, we have to take that pricing with a shovelful of salt, and indeed the existence of this Core i7-8086K is still unconfirmed, of course. At least one of the aforementioned product listings is still live, although the Italian retailer in question has already taken its web page down.
