Windows 10: Windows11 upgrade with supported Processor.

My Procesor is on the list here - Intel® Core™ i7-6500UAnyway, my Health Check up is still complaining about it:

windows11 upgrade from windows 10

everything is good to go except the CPU says it is not supported for windows11 upgrade!!! ... i have a Intel i7-7700 HQ running 2.8GHz with 4 processors.... it is listed in one of the listing - why cant this machine get upgraded? this is ridiculous

 

When will Windows11 add support for more Intel i7 processors?

I currently have an Intel Core i7-4500U processor in my laptop (older, but still works great with Windows10). I purchased this laptop in an attempt to future proof myself; better processor, better chances of upgrading in the future. This does not seem to be the case with the Windows 11 upgrade. My understanding is that Windows11 currently supports most Intel Core i3 and i5 processors. For some reason, only a small number of Intel Core i7 processors are supported. Unfortunately mine is not one of them. Do the Intel Core i7 processors have a flaw which prevent them from functioning with the Windows 11 operating system? or... Did Microsoft somehow overlook a very popular processor when designing Windows11? Will additional i7 processors be supported in the near future?

 

This processor isn't currently supported for windows11.

The app is correct. It is not a compatible processor for Windows 11.
