My Intel Core i3-6100 for Windows 11 says it is supported on the requirements page, but not in the PC Health Check app.

When I go to the PC Health Check app, it says that my processor, the Intel Core i3-6100 CPU @ 3.70 GHz, is not supported. But when I go to the Windows 11 device requirements page, it clearly lists the Intel Core i3-6100 CPU @ 3.70 GHz as supported. Is there any way I could fix this problem?

Thanks

    Hi @M B

    The processor are selected by various parameters and the important one is DCH Design Principles.

    Some of the 7th generation processor and all 8th generation Intel processor are supported for Windows 11. It seems your Intel i3-6100 is not in the list and it might not support the Windows 11.

    If your Pc Health check app says not supported then not supported, use i5 or latest to improve performance.
