If an older laptop has a fingerprint reader, and the correct drivers are available, it should be compatible with Windows Hello.

And mine is dell Inspiron 3584 with i3-7020U which is on list
mohith1402 "One of the support agent of Microsoft gave me the list of some computer will will be eligible for windows 11 update here is the list ..."
Thanks very much for the information.
Focusing on Dell, the list Microsoft support provided to you is very interesting, because the list suggests that Microsoft's right hand has no idea what Microsoft's left hand is doing.

Microsoft List of Supported Processors
Dell computers tested for upgrade to Windows 11
Looking at Dell computers that you and I own:
(1) Dell Latitude 7280 (i5-7300U) - The computer is on the list you provided. The computer has been enrolled in the Windows 11 Insider program. I received notification from Microsoft that the computer will not be supported for Windows 11 upon release, and that I should revert to Windows 10 at this point. The 7300U is not listed as a supported processor on Microsoft's list of compatible processors. The computer is not on Dell's list of computers being tested for Windows 11 compatibility, and Dell will not provide Windows 11 drivers for the computer. Microsoft's updated "PC Health Check" (currently available to Insiders, to be released to the public shortly) indicates that the computer is not eligible for upgrade to Windows 11.
(2) Dell Inspiron 3584 (i3-7020U) - The computer is on the list you provided. The 7020U is not listed as a supported processor on Microsoft's list of compatible processors. The computer is not on Dell's list of computers being tested for Windows 11 compatibility, and Dell will not provide Windows 11 drivers for the computer.
(3) Dell Latitude 7390 (i5-8350U) - The computer is not on the list you provided. The computer is not enrolled in the Windows 11 Insider program. The i7-8350T is on Microsoft's list of compatible processors. The computer is on Dell's list of computers being tested for Windows 11 compatibility, and Dell will, in all likelihood, provide Windows 11 drivers for the computer. Microsoft's updated "PC Health Check" (currently available to Insiders, to be released to the public shortly) indicates that the computer is eligible for upgrade to Windows 11.
I have no idea what this all means. We both own computers on the list Microsoft provided to you, and you provided to us. Neither computer has a processor that is on Microsoft's compatibility list, neither is on the list of computers that Dell intends to support for Windows 11, and one (my Latitude 7280) got bounced from the Windows 11 Insider program a few days ago because it was not eligible for the upgrade.
The list you provided seems to be in conflict with Microsoft's list of supported processors, Dell's list of computers being tested for Windows 11 compatibility, and Microsoft's upgraded PC Health Check. Go figure.
Microsoft's PC Health Check will be released to the public soon. When it is released, you can download the tool and run the check on your computer. That should give you a definitive answer for the October 5 release, although Microsoft might continue to add processors to the list of compatible processors in the future.
I guess that all we can do is wait and see.
- Hello, my laptop is in the dell list which you provided thanks for the site but my cpu is not in the windows 11 cpu list
- Mine Is dell inspiration 15 3567 intel core i5 7th gen which already running windows 11 22h2 even tried a way to install it.
mohith1402 "... my laptop is in the dell list which you provided ..."
Yup, I missed it, although the fact that Dell is testing the computer doesn't mean that the computer will make the Windows 11 cut:
"This article designates Dell laptops and desktops that will be tested for upgrade to Windows 11 once that operating system releases. If your device is not listed below, Dell is not testing the device and drivers will not be upgraded for that model."
I'm not sure what Dell means by "will be tested for upgrade to Windows 11 once that operating system releases". The Dell article was released July 21, at a point where Microsoft was saying the 7th Gen processors were being tested as part of the Insider program, and Microsoft's testing process looks like it has come to an end -- See "Update on Windows 11 minimum system requirements and the PC Health Check app" (released August 27), which says this:
"In June, we heard your questions about how we set the Windows 11 minimum system requirements and shared more information on the established principles that guided us in setting them. And as a team, we committed to exploring through Windows Insider testing and with OEMs whether there were devices running on Intel 7th Generation and AMD Zen 1 processors that met our principles."
"Following the results of our testing, we are making a small number of additions to the compatible processor list (explained further below), but otherwise will maintain the minimum system requirements as originally set. We have concluded that the compatible 64-bit processors selected, 4GB of memory, 64GB of storage, UEFI secure boot, graphics requirements and TPM 2.0 are the right minimum system requirements to deliver on the principles we established to best support you."
It all depends on Microsoft's future decisions about 7th Gen processors, I guess. Based on the linked article from Microsoft, though, I doubt that the situation will change before October 5.
- And even I spoken to dell support he also said me that your PC will be eligible for windows 11 update and they said that please ignore that message which is showing incompatible message that your PC doesn't meet the minimum hardware requirements for windows 11 it will be fixed before windows 11 release and I said I contacted Microsoft support they said that windows 11 will be supported by 7th gen cpu and I asked them all the 7th gen cpus will be supported or only some 7thbgen cpus they said all the 7th gen cpu and told kindly wait till official release of windows 11 then you can install windows 11.
