Why are some intel Core i5 processors not supported for Win11? My processor is an intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz 3.50 GHz. There are many i3 processors on the list of supported processors but not some i5's such as mine. When my system was built I expected that an i5 processor was better than i3 so should be compatible. Are Microsoft ging to add processors such as mine to the compatible list in the future? If not, why not?
