Windows 10: Installing Windows 11 23H2 clean install, says my CPU Intel Core i7-7700K 4.20 FCLGA1151...

Installing Windows 11 23H2 clean install, says my CPU Intel Core i7-7700K 4.20 FCLGA1151 "isn't supported" but it is listed as being supported. Why?

:)

 

Can my laptop run Windows 11 on Intel Core i7 7700HQ?

That link seems to contain misinformation.

In addition, Microsoft has also reduced the CPU requirements of Windows 11. They have recently added support for Intel's seventh-generation Kaby Lake architecture Core CPUs to the list of CPU requirements. This is a great way for users who are still using the i7-7700K with older and more robust CPUs.

Not true. The only 7th generation Intel Core processors added are three Core i7 78xx, and then also five Core i9 79xx. They "reduced" nothing, as far as I know. You still need the same hardware security features as you did from the beginning.

The Intel Core i7 7700K is not listed, in the official Microsoft list. I've see other such bogus information, including that some of the 7th generation Core i5 processors were added, but I have no idea where that information comes from. The list from Microsoft is the one to go by.

 

Win 11 support for Intel Core i7-7500U CPU @ 2,70GHz

Hi,

My Lenovo laptop has much more capacity than lot of other laptop that you support Win 11 on. 2 core Intel i7 CPU, 16 GB ram & 512 GB SSD.

I would like to upgrade to Win 11 but the CPU Intel Core i7-7500U CPU @ 2,70GHz

is not supported. Newer weaker CPU's are supported.

Can I install Win 11 on Intel Core i7-7500U CPU @ 2,70GHz now?

Or when will you support that CPU?

Br,

Martin

 

Windows 11 on Intel Core i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz

My Dell Inspiron 13-7359 notebook PC has all the hardware and software required for Windows 11, except the Intel Core i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz. When is Microsoft going to support Windows 11 on the Intel Core i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50 Ghz?
