Hi,
We have about 50 older Lenovo X1 Carbons 5th Gen which have a Intel Core 7th gen processor. While I have been able to successfully upgrade several of these devices as part of the insider ring, are there going to be any compliance checks or hard requirement to stop a device with an Intel Core 7th gen to being upgraded when officially rolled out in GA?
Cheers
Nathan

Did you manage to upgrade your existing device to Windows 11?
If yes, there is a possibility where your system will be ready unless it shows message like it is not compatible.
However, Windows 11 is still under development and testing and you have to wait for official announcement from the Windows team.
