Windows 10: The processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11

PC Health Check software is telling me "The processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11". The processor is Intel Core i5-4200M CPU @ 2.50GHz.Does "currently" mean that this processor hasn't yet been tested with Windows 11 or that Windows 11 may be developed to become compatible with it in the future?If neither is the case, what features of Windows 11 would not work and can they be disabled?

Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

 

Windows 11 confusion

It's not actually saying that your processor isn't 64 bit, it's saying it isn't on the list of supported processors. For Intel that currently means only 8th gen or newer, and it's simillarly restricted for AMD. The list may include some more of the older processors by the time Win11 is released. The current list of supported AMD processors is here:

Here is the list of supported AMD CPUs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...amd-processors

The A8-4500M isn't on the list.

It may still be possible to install 11 on the machine. There's a long thread in a sister forum: Let's install Windows 11 on an incompatible hardware | Windows 11 Forum
