Win 11 compatibility
My computer meets the written requirements but in running the compatibility test for win11 it is declared not compatible. It is an ASUS Z170 Pro gaming MB with an I7 6700k and and Nvidia GTX 1080TI....
- Great, you need to verify this with ASUS and they would be able to help you to enable and run it.
In case there is any issue when you want to upgrade to Windows 11, let us know and make sure file a bug report using Feedback Hub app.
Hi,
I have 7700K CPU, one generation higher than yours, and still not supported, for Windows 11 support you need to have at least an 8th Gen Intel CPU or an equivalent for AMD or ARM.

BTW further research suggests it will run with our CPUs which do meet MS's stated minimum requirements. Apparently they don't want PC manufacturers build PCs with lower than the specified CPUs. It should work fine on your PC. Good Luck. Check this website for more info. https://marketresearchtelecast.com/windows-11-officially-supported-processors-vs-minimum-system-requirements/84754/
- they stated that any pc can run the dev version of windows 11 but when it comes to general release for non oem machine then you will only be able to upgrade to the final release by meeting the required spec, 8th gen or zen 2 and above, they are thinking of including some gen 7 cpu's but they have not mention much on that since.
