Windows 11 update not compatible with core i7 7Y75 processor

Question

Hi so when I ran the PC health check it stays that the core -i7 processor is not compatible with windows 11.
It is really frustrating as mine isn't a weak processor. Its core -i7 7Y75.
Anybody knows any way around this ??

Hi @Ankita Sharma ,

The PC Health Check is correct and unfortunately, i7 7Y75 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:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/send-feedback-to-microsoft-with-the-feedback-hub-app-f59187f8-8739-22d6-ba93-f66612949332

It is still possible to install Windows 11 although your processor is not officially supported, use your favourite search engine and you'll find articles/blog posts on how to accomplish this.
