Windows 10: Windows 11 processor compatibility

I am using Pentium N3700 and I wanted to upgrade to windows 11 so I checked the PC Health Check app and it shows that my processor speed and no. of cores are compatible but why it is still showing as incompatible processor?

Introducing Windows 11

It looks like processors after 2018 will be supported. Here is a list of processors; Windows 11: List of Intel, AMD and Qualcomm Processors Compatible and Official Minimum System Requirements - MySmartPrice

 

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.

Windows 11 and my processor question

MS did allow only a few handful of 7th gen Intel CPUs for Win11 but other 7th gen Intel and AMD Zen 1 CPUs remain incompatible or unsupported

while you could clean install Win11 on a PC that does not have the recommended specs, you may not be able to receive updates for Win11

Microsoft leaves a loophole for those wanting to run Windows 11 on 'unsupported' hardware | ZDNet

so install Win11 at your own risk
