[Mamipapi2]

I have an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400T CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz that I should be able to install windows 11 Pro on. I absolutely being told PC health Check that I cannot because of my Processor. But on Goggle and the Windows refences pages I see I have the proper Processor to be able to install windows 11 pro. Can I get so help on why my PC is not able to install it.

Your PC's processor does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 processor requirements of an Intel 8th generation or newer core processor.

If you are happy with your PC, and if you are interested in doing an in-place upgrade from W10 > W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video, which is the easiest way to do it in my opinion, and I have tried many different ways to do this during the last 3 years.

Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).

You'll have to repeat this procedure each October when Microsoft rolls out the new builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.

Other than that, your PC will continue to get the monthly cumulative and other updates.

That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.
