When Windows 11 will support 7gen i7-7500U intel processcor
The answer is going to be maybe but officially no in the long term look at how they are going to end Windows 10 support in 2025 that give you a clue to where manufactures and Microsoft is heading.
Microsoft is wanting to end users to upgrade to new systems so they can unlock the features of chipset on the motherboards for their operating systems.
This is why they have hard requirement for TPM feature as well for security and support of new hardware that coming.
Also they are moving away from the old 32 bit support if you look at what they are preparing for the future is going to be 64 bit and possible home user will eventfully be on Operating system that only supports 128 bit operating systems while business will move to 256 bit operating system for security, speed and reliability.
Older Cpu though they support 64 bit they still relie upon the old 32 bit system i suspect future motherboard designs will only use the UEFI and will only support 64 bit and up as so they can ensure security and unlock the potentials of computing.
So i would suggest saving your money and do not waste your time on putting windows 11 on your current system buy new one use the older one for your older software,
eventfully we will all need to buy new motherboards and chipsets that coming.
DarkmenanceIf Microsoft want to force me to buy a new machine, then fine. I'll get a Mac.

- AnonymousOct 14, 2021Hi Everyone,
Microsoft may lower it down, they may be just focusing on the newer one first then working internally on a version for everyone.
You can still use the registry hack to get windows 11 at your own risk.
Also Windows 10 is still supported until 2025.
