    Microsoft will continue to support more devices.
    In case you are running Windows 10, try open start and search for feedback and open Feedback Hub app and create a new suggestion and include the model and manufacturer of your device and request for your device to become available.

    Hello @Mog ,

    Microsoft has excluded most of the processors previous to 8th Gen, mostly due to the lack of TPM chipset or their compatibility.

    Specially for the 7500 there is a very good discussion in the Forum that cover most of questions from the users:

    Hope this is useful for you,

    I signed up for the insider program. I have a dell 3050. When I attempted to get Windows 11 after signing up, I got a warning it was not compatible with my system, and it would not install. This was back in early September.

    On 10-2-2021 I noticed my system changed looks. This is why…

    I’m assuming Microsoft has lowered the system requirements. For what I use my computer for, I haven’t had any issues.
