Windows 10: Windows 11 Required Processor

I was trying to upgrade my PC to Windows 11 from its current Windows 10 operating system, and my PC matches all of the required specs, including the fact that the processor has multiple cores and higher than 1.0 Ghz frequency, except that the processor model is not listed on the supported processors for Windows 11. My computer is equipped with the AMD A10-5700 APU with Radeontm HD Graphics 3.40 GHz processor. Is there an issue with this processor as to why it is not on the list of processors or is there any way I can bypass this so I can still install Windows 11?

Windows 11 Processor requirements

Hello,

Unfortunately, i5-7500 processor is not compatible for Windows 11, according to Microsoft.

Please check with official Windows 11 list of supported processors:

You can drop a feedback to Microsoft about this, using Feedback hub app.

Regards.

 

Windows 11 Processor requirements

I ran the PC Health Check and it came back that my processor doesn't meet the requirements. I have the following processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz. According to Microsoft's Processor Requirements list for Intel, this processor meets the requirements.

I sent a message to Microsoft a couple of weeks ago and have never heard anything back from them. Is there anyone in the community that can tell me why this processor isn't matching Windows 11 requirements even though it's on their list of approved processors?

Thank you in advance,

Jeff McGarrity

 

Windows 11 Processor requirements

The processor requirement is the most restrictive; supported processors include 8th-generation and newer Intel Core processors as well as AMD Ryzen 2000-series processors and newer. These are all chips that launched in late 2017 and early 2018. Older computers can't officially run Windows 11.
