The i7-7700K meet the minimun requierments to run Win11. But its not suported, Why?
Hi, I have an i7-7700K. This CPU have TPM 2.0, It's compatible with Secure Boot, it have 4 core up to 4.2 GHz. It also is 64bit. I don't know why this CPU is not supported by Microsoft to install W...
We are in the same boat as so many others are. Microsoft should add the Corei7-7700k processor to the supported group of processors for Windows 11. It's only a 4 year old custom pc costing thousands of dollars and runs extremely well and we have several of them. We will not replace them because Microsoft says so. We will also delay all new PC purchases for our company choosing to remain on Windows 10 including not recommending Windows 11 to our clients. Microsoft has not provided any explanation let alone an acceptable one for their actions and the Windows 11 testers confirm that it runs just fine with Windows 11. Jeronimo2440
What a cop out. Sorry your expensive processor was poorly made so you can't use our product. This is why Mac is winning
You're kidding, right? Apple hasn't dominated the PC market since the 80's. News flash too: They also use Intel CPU's, and limit OS upgrades based on hardware. Your logic is incredibly flawed.
- I’m running W11 on my 7700, I installed a TPM I bought on eBay for 10 bucks a year ago and on the last update I got an official version as far as I can tell, no more watermark?
Corei77700korBust On the plus side, look for a HUGE price drop in 7700k's in the next 12 months! I've had mine along with a Gigabyte 1080 GPU and they are still going STRONG!
When GPU prices come back to reality and MS makes the big Win 11 push budget gaming\workstations are gonna be within reach of those who've never even used a computer that good.
I'm EXTREMELY happy with my 7700k and I'll be working whatever "mojo" is necessary to keep her alive as long as possible. I've already read threads where people are bypassing the CPU check and I'll go that route LONG before I replace my "Double 7 Double 0" for the sake of a brand new OS!If you want to pay to upgrade since if they did a thing like say Windows 10 purchased a while ago is not upgradable but recently purchased is would be an obvious scandal but for most pc with i7 7700k you can just buy a new chip for 300$ and a few hours and that’s it you got the latest machine that can upgrade to Windows 11 and do what Microsoft wants throw the other in the garbage.. cause if you recycle it then it could mean 1 less Windows 11 machine sold which really does not sit well with the corporation they could almost label you as an enemy for that…
- It would require a motherboard swap out as well. The ASUS z270-I can’t take anything more powerful than the core i7-7700k. If it was as simple as replacing CPU’s in our pcs we would do it.
- That mother board can run coffee lake, it’s a point less upgrade but you might be able to get the chip new for under 100$ hopefully… since it’s old …

- You say that now but it’s like the vaccine. You were probably one of those that said you weren’t going to get it and as soon as you got it qualified. Microsoft is a business by forcing you to buy new computers that are 4 years old or more will make them immense profits. If you don’t give them money they don’t care about you.
- Sixpiece Yesterday I bought a MacBook Air with the new M1 and an iPad Pro 11-inch with the new M1. Goodbye intel, goodbye Microsoft.
- I hope you enjoy it. Although the M1 is a System on Chip and has bus advantages this way it is still in large respect similar to an 11th generation i3 that is much less expensive from Intel/Asus (i3 and motherboard combination but a i7 is worth a lot more even by Mac standards they charge 5000$ for an i7 Mac book pro somewhat loaded) . Also the i7 7700k is from 2017, I am not sure that an Apple computer from 2017 can necessarily run the latest Big Sur but it probably could but at some point the latest OS, they can run becomes Catalina, maybe for 2016, High Sierra, etc.. You will be back soon… bye for now, we will miss you and we hope we will see you again soon… I hope you are happy with your Apple… the iPad is not competition because Microsoft is barely in any form of tablet market. Microsoft IOT failed and the alternatives to tablets by Microsoft really haven’t taken off.
Sure, if W11 don't want my 7700k, and if I need to wait 2025 with W10, it's ok, thanks MS for my internal économie ! Waiting W12 for upgrade my hardware, is not a problem for us.
95, not 98, 2000, XP, not Vista, Seven, not 8/8.1, W10, no W11, W12, chronicle as the same !
- With the Android support, guessing most/all new apps will be Android as why do Windows-only anymore. Guessing we're waiting for an Android or Chrome that is up to desktop tasks and W12 is going to be for dinosaurs.
I really think that is a bad movement from Microsoft, If the processor meet the requirements it should work. I don't think that Microsoft will add the i7-7700k. They don't really care.Corei77700korBust
