The i7-7700K meet the minimun requierments to run Win11. But its not suported, Why?
Immu7795 And you're running an i7700k without any registry modifications or hacks to force it to work?
- yowattaJun 29, 2022Copper ContributorThe same thing has happened here in Japan. I've got self-build PC using i7-7700k, and had been running it on W10. After W11 was released, Windows updates had been kept saying your PC is not W11 upgradable. On June 8, however, all of a sudden, a message came saying your PC is now W11 upgradable. From the windows updates panel, I downloaded the upgrade package and installed it. It's been working just fine. I wondered how it happened and net searched to find this loong exchange of messages. I did not read them all, skipped the middle, and came down to your message which is exactly the same with mine. Does this mean Microsoft had changed their mind?

yowatta Yep, it is during the 1-2 days period when Microsoft offered Windows 11 Upgrade to i7 7700k, Our PC supports every other requirement, and Motherboard supports TMP 2.0 too, I have been getting regular updates, so no need to worry, keep using Windows 11.
- yowattaJul 01, 2022Copper ContributorWe are lucky guys. There are unlucky guys, like Chris1231, out there. MS should open up W11 to these unlucky guys who missed the 1-2 days window. Rich1000sf is rightly making the point on his June 29 post.

yowattaApparently Microsoft had a mistake where they let this processor get W11 over just 1-2 days and you must have hit that period. It is closed down again and this processor isn't allowed W11. I don't know what they will do about you already having installed it - if they will support that in the future. However, if they do support your use of it, it would make sense for them to open it up to all users with that processor.

I’ve checked the Update History of my PC and confirmed;
- W11 version 22H2 was successfully installed on 6/8/22
- 2022-06 x64 base system W11 Ver 22H2 Quality cumm-update KB5014688 was successfully installed on 6/16/22
- All other updates (driver/definition/other) have been installed as well
So, it seems MS has kept my PC updating. I've double checked that i7-7700k is the cpu of my PC.
- Immu7795Jun 09, 2022Copper ContributorYes It is I7 7700K, I read in the news that this was due to a bug Microsoft released this update.
So My Question is when they mistakenly released, and those people who updated their OS, will they any updates or have problems in future?
