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?

Hello

This list of processors has been confirmed by Microsoft as compatible with Windows11:

Intel Core i5-7640X Intel Core i7-7740X Intel Core i7-7800X Intel Core i7-7820HQ Intel Core i7-7820X Intel Core i7-7900X Intel Core i7-7920X Intel Core i9-7940X Intel Core i9-7960X Intel Core i9-7980XE

This new list here are only three 7th generation Intel processors that are compatible with Windows11

Yes, Microsoft has not added this processor to the list of compatible, but at their own risk some users install Windows11.
Windows10 is getting better - so why risk it!
