Hello

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Microsoft has set specific requirements for Windows 11, and most Intel 7th generation CPUs are not officially supported. This decision is primarily due to security and stability concerns. However, there are a few exceptions, such as the Intel Core 7820HQ, which is supported.

So, Microsoft really ditching processors even if it is fully capable of running windows 11 in the name of security and stability. Windows 10 will be highly vulnerable when support comes to end this year. It will be huge E-Waste for the consumer like us. Microsoft should make compatible for processors like Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz   2.90 GHz otherwise it's time to shift to Google OS or Mac OS rather than buying new laptops which supports windows 11. Many people have tested windows 11 on Dell Inspiron 5567 and it is running smoothly and flawlessly. So, it's time to re-think Microsoft out of box this time.
