The i7-7700K meet the minimun requierments to run Win11. But its not suported, Why?
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

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 …
