    Hi @Emon Islam ,

    Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 will only officially support 8th Gen and newer Intel Core processors, most likely because they have an integrated TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip.

    Windows 11 Supported Intel Processors
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

    Please also note that Windows 11 is currently not supported in the Q&A forums, the supported products are listed over here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/products.

    If you have any further questions, you may ask the experts in the dedicated Windows 11 forum over here:

    Microsoft did not clear the Intel 7th generation processors for Windows 11 compatibility even after having had a re-look at the processors family for Windows 11 performance.

    Short update to LeonLaude's answer:
    Meanwhile Windows 11 is supported in Q&A.
    I changed the tag to windows-11

    In case your system doesn't meet the requirement for the Windows 11 and you are running Windows 10, open start and search for feedback and open Feedback Hub app and report this issue.

    Hello,

    As of this writing, i5-7500 is not in the list of compatible processors for Windows 11. You can continue using Windows 10 for now, until your processor is assigned as compatible for Windows 11. You can also drop your feedback to Microsoft via Feedback hub app.

    Regards.
