On PC Health Check it says my processor isn't supported for Windows 11.

My processor is Intel Xeon E3-1505M v5 and my Windows version is 21H1.

According to the documentation this should be a supported processor:

Answer 1

Hi @1505M ,

the link in your question is referring to Windows 10 21H1.

The website for Windows 11 compatible Intel CPUs is this one:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

On this website your Xeon E3-1505M v5 is not listed.

Hi @Dave Myler

Some of the 7th generation processor and all 8th generation Intel processor are supported for Windows 11. It seems your Intel Xeon E3-1505M is not in the list and it might not support the Windows 11.The link you have shared if for Windows 10 21H1 version.

Answer 3

My Lenovo P50 (with the same CPU - E3-1505M v5) is running Windows 11 with no issues, I fresh-installed it from the bootable USB. I also managed to install Windows 11 on machines with older CPUs, all I had to do is to enable TMP 2.0 in the BIOS. Windows 11 will bypass other restrictions. Thanks

Answer 4

I also installed from an ISO with no problems at all. I did not even know my processor was not on the current list. I have a Core i7-7600U, any idea when that will be added to the list??
