Windows 10: Windows 11 - processor is listed as compatible online, but not by PC Health check

Howdy, Has anyone else come across this...I have run PC Health Check to see if my HP Wave is compatible. It failed on account of the processor i5 6400T. However on the processor requirements online, it lists the same processor as BEING compatible. Has anyone else had this happen to them... If so, any suggestions? Should I try to force install Windows 11 instead...Any tips welcome...

:)

 

PC Health Check - Windows 11

It's back....


Microsoft's Windows 11 compatibility app PC Health Check is available for everyone now - gHacks Tech News

 

PC Health Check - Windows 11

To give a short answer, neither PC has a CPU that's on the current approved list.

Your desktop has a Gen 4 CPU. Win11 requires a Gen 8 or later. I hope that changes before release.

 

PC Health Check - Windows 11

So I downloaded the PC Health Check app on my Laptop to see if it will run Windows 11 and the message says "This PC can't run Windows 11". So my question is, will there be a workaround to bypass that when Windows 11 comes available to download? I just think that's dumb that it's not compatible, considering this computer is less than a year old. Laptop in reference is an HP 255 G7.
