The i7-7700K meet the minimun requierments to run Win11. But its not suported, Why?
Hello, I am using a translator for this message.
I am in the same situation with my i7-7700k I find it unbelievable that I can't upgrade to windows 11
I have a super powerful computer, but microsoft is forcing me to change hardware, I will not change hardware I will continue on windows 10, I hope they change their mind and allow this processor.
I hope they change their mind and allow this processor.
Juankaaranda just go on the microsoft website, download the windows 11 installation media, put it on a USB stick, reboot, and upgrade and be happy. It won't stop you and it will work. I've been on 11 since like 3-4 months now.
- But, you will imminently find that Microsoft adds a watermark to the lower right corner of your screen to advise that you are running Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.
That watermark is an Insider Preview build. It is not present on the standard release builds. You need to exit the Insider Preview program to get rid of that. It says nothing about your system being unsupported. The only location that will is under certain sections of Windows Update.
Unless you're on the Insider releases, you won't have seen the watermark yet. It's previewing in the Insider builds right now, but it will then roll out to the regular releases and appear on all machines that don't meet the minimum specification set by Microsoft.
