Windows 11 update for i5-7200U

Question

Windows 11 update for i5-7200U

HP LAPTOP 11

PC Health Check is reporting my laptop to be incompatible with Windows 11 due to my processor being 'unsupported'. It is the Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.70 GHz processor. All other requirements are met. Is anyone else seeing this with Win11?
When I will get window 11 updates for this processor?

Unfortunately this is not a technical but a financial issue. You system will work perfectly fine and safe with Windows 11. Microsoft is forcing you (and millions of other users) to buy a new PC/laptop. So they also sell another Windows license. It is unbelievable that this is being allowed by any government.

Hi @HP LAPTOP ,

The PC Health Check is correct and unfortunately, i5-7200U CPU processor is not compatible for Windows 11.

You'll find the Microsoft's official Windows 11 list of supported Intel processors over here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

You may always provide feedback and request your processor to be supported by using the Feedback Hub app:

This is a part of huge business, my friend)) Definitely i5-7200 is compatible but they just push you (and me) and millions others to buy new PC instead of upgrade.

The site says that Windows 11 needs a processor that is at least 1Ghz and 2 cores. The core i5 7200 meets this requirement. So why does it say it is not? Just to try and make us buy new equipment?
