Windows 11 to 7th generation Intel.

So, i have a Intel Core i5-7500 processor and, theoretically i would be able to use Windows 11. But Microsoft does not support it yet. Is there any chance that they will support this processor?

Try download and run the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewpchealth

It will check your system and see if it is compatible with the Windows 11 or not.

In case, it is not compatible, you may create a new feedback in the Feedback Hub and request it to become available.

There is no guarantee, it will be available but this is a way to let the Windows team know about your concern.

  True, you could join the Windows Insider but you don't have to install the insider build and you could sign in with your Microsoft Account to do that.

    I would like to add that downloading any applications, which are not confirmed by Microsoft, and which are supposed to check if your computer is compatible with Windows 11 - may cause system viruses and I think it should be emphasized!
    There is no need to check anything by installing additional applications - in time
    Windows Update service - will provide us with this information and confirm the status.
