The i7-7700K meet the minimun requierments to run Win11. But its not suported, Why?
SunOneElse Hi just reading the comments at the start of this thread, <there isnt a 40% crash rate for i7700>; its circa 50% higher than the processors which are green-lighted by MS for win11- which sounds terrible <except> the green lighted ones have a crash-free rating of 99.8% (0.2% crash) which means the i7700 has a 50% higher crash rate of 0.3%- or <the i7700 processor has a 99.7% crash free experience>. which makes the lack of MS support for all of our i7700 processors which are well capable, all the more mean and shows a disregard for customers who previously would have rated MS products (like me!)
the999wizard the reason for the high crash rate is probably because of all of us wannabe system builders messing up hardware configurations.

tbh, i'd have to agree. most people with a 7700k boost the clock to the highest they can go while still being able to start windows in general. they arnt stability testing, and just restart when they bluescreen their systems. the only thing they talk about is being able to run their system at 5+ghz, and dont mention that its not stable at that frequency.
i know my system is capable of running benchmarks at 5ghz, but i know through testing prime95 and other testing software the highest i could go while staying stable was 4.8ghz.
the primary reason people get a 7700k is to be able to change the clock speeds.- the999wizardJul 23, 2022Copper Contributor
SunOneElse I get that many tech savvy people over lock, and are interested enough to engage more with forums like this- but there are a huge number of folk like me out there, who don’t overclock- we simply try to get the best spec we can buy at the time- and then are dumped on by Microsoft. It’s low, real low. (Anyone remember MS saying win10 was “the last OS you’ll ever need”?? I prob. Misremembered that, but that’s what it seemed to me they said at the time. An i7700 quad core user as it comes out of the box. And I still think a 99.7% crash free experience with i7700 and win11 <is> good enough for MS to officially adopt. Why so different from 99.8%??? (The officially supported processors)
