Hi Everyone,

I have the same question as Eyal_Elboim .
I have intel i7-7500U, 16GB RAM, TPM 2.0 enabled and Secure Boot support.

When will we be able to upgrade to windows 11?
Why series 7 processors are not supported?

Appreciate any help!!

Thank you, 🙂

    I have the type of machine and still is blazing fast with W10, so I don't understand what is the reason why is not now supported for W11.
    To Microsoft Expert team, isn't it one the benefits of W11 to be faster than W10, then how do we test this? Does it mean it will only be fast already in very very fast machines? Or this is just a marketing stunt?

    Before I could buy a machine and be confident that within 8 I could still use the best software. Now with a CPU launched Q3'16 Microsoft it is already saying I need to swap it so I can use the latest software.

    Fact wise, will a CPU launched in Q3'16 like i7-7500U, 16GB RAM, TPM 2.0 not work with W11? Than imagine that we will have serious problems with W11.
