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...
Ok just to state again- the i7700 is easily able for win11. MS say the crash rate is 1 and a half times higher then their other “approved” processors. Which sounds bad until you look at the <actual> stats. “Approved” processors crash-free experience 99.8% of the time. In other words a 0.2% crash rate. So 1 and a half times that is 0.3%, meaning a 99.7% crash-free experience… (being the i7700). In essence, MS have arbitrarily decided 99.8% crash free is fine, and “supported”, whereas the i7700’s 99.7% crash free is unacceptable and won’t be supported. Can anyone tell MS how many people they are arbitrarily excluding by dissing the i7700??
the999wizard think of all those people with sparc processors who have terabytes of data and relied on the world’s best operating system:Solaris built and maintained by Bill Joy from Stanford University’s Solaris system sudden having the plug pulled by Oracle. What are these people going to do? Doesn’t seem like Microsoft has a solution for these poor folk with powerful 12 core Sparc processors… that beat most 48 core processors…
ps. I would say that i7 likely rivals IBM’s Power 10 quad core processor and don’t be fooled that it’s similar to an i3 11th or 12th generation because that’s supposedly quad core as well but it’s more like dual core in actuality…
