    Hello DJ,

    Good day! I'm John Dev a Windows user like you and I'll be happy to assist you today. I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.

    **Please note that we do not work for Microsoft and we are just volunteer members here trying to help.

    The minimum system requirements for Windows 11 is at least 8th Gen processors (except for very few 7th Gen processors). This is to meet Microsoft principles about security and reliability. There has been no new announcement from Microsoft yet if they plan to add more processors to the list.

    In addition to that, According to a Microsoft Executive, Even though these lower generations [of processors] also have Trusted Platform Module (TPM) encryption and secure boot capabilities, they are missing reliability and performance optimization. You can check the link below for more details.

    Boa tarde

    Bem que a MS poderia fazer testes e no meio do preocesso ir tirando alguns recursos que não são tão utilizados, bastaria eles fazerem um levantamento com os usuários do win 10 que tem core i5 de 7 geração 7200, ou então fazer uma versão lite para esses processadores, vendo que ainda no mercado é encontrado com putadores, notebooks com esses processadores, e ao meu ver esses processadores ainda são bem fortes e utilizados pelas pessoas, a MS poderia pensa nosso ne?

    Boa tarde.
