Windows 11 for 7th generation Intel
Hi, I have learned that Microsoft has excluded all Intel processors prior to 8th generation from their current Windows 11 upgrade. While it is a great way to make millions of PC's obsolete, it is a p...
Good morning!
Recently did a clean install of the 21H2 Windows 11 Release and through the setup, it prompted me to upgrade to 22H2. (i7-6600u)

Anyways, I did a clean install of 22H2 and everything is great!
have a wonderful day!

Like you I have i7 Intel and not supported by win 11, used rufus and installed with no issues, likewise upgraded to latest version win 11 with rufus with in place upgrade all goes as smooth as silk. Plus the OS runs like a dream. So why i7 is not supported is beyond me.
- Sorry about that, have a great day!
- I cannot believe you are repeating information everyone else in here already knows. Stop adding information we already KNOW. Read previous posts and only speak up when you have something relevant to the thread. Thanks.
- Actually clean installs not check for the generation of processors, as long it has a tpm 2.0 and everything else!
It's just the manual upgrade options are bit tricky though there is a easy registry edit to manually upgrade!
Have a wonderful day! - It has NOTING to do with i7. It has everything to do with the generation of CPU. 7th gen and less are not qualified. Shame on you for NOT reading all the prior posts! LOL
