Hello,
I downloaded and run PC health check so to be sure if the upcoming windows update can be installed.
Unfortunately -and surprisingly- the app says "your PC doesn't meet WIN 11 system requirements".
As I can see everything is fine except the processor. My processor is an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz 4.01GHz.
Why my i7 processor is not ok for the update?
I went online to check about the processors that they are compatible with the WIN 11 update and saw that in the list are intel I3, I4, I5, I7 (except my model), i8, etc
Could anyone please let me know?
Thanks in advance

Only Intel processors after 7th generation (selective 3 models) and 8th generation are compatible for Windows 11.

Your Intel processor is 6th generation which is not compatible. As per Microsoft, you can continue using Windows 10, which is supported through 2025.
