Hi there,

Windows is testing on new processor for compatibility to add them to supported list for Windows 11.The important parameter in processor selection is DCH principle.

Driver packages that are DCH-compliant contain an INF file and binaries that install and run on Universal Windows Platform (UWP)-based editions of Windows 10. They also install and run on other editions of Windows 10 that share a common set of interfaces.

Hopefully your processor will be added in the future.

Thanks for taking the time to send me these insights about the issue. Not having much of a background in processor technology, I'm not really able to grasp the explanation you provide, so forgive me. Yet your "hopefully...in the future" is encouraging somewhat, I just hope that Microsoft is sufficiently incentivized by market forces (Android, IOS, Linux) to retain their customer base.
