Why does Windows PC Health Check show my cpu as not being supported when web documentation says it is ?

Question

I run the windows health check for windows 11 upgrade, it says my cpu:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz

is not supported, while:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-10-21h1-supported-intel-processors

says it is.

Hi @Woo Hoo ,

the link you posted in your question is for Windows 10 21H1` not for `Windows 11

The list for Windows 11 you will find here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors
And the Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ is not on this list.
