Product: OMEN ax206na
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

I have purchased my OMEN 15-ax206na Laptop  (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.81 GHz) laptop just a couple of years ago. Widows 11 compatibility health check says that my laptop processor doesn't support windows 11. How is it possible as it exceeds windows 11 minimum requirements ?

Following are my Laptop specs:

 

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2808 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

TMP2

Secure boot on

RAM 8gb

 

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Hi:

 

It fails because Microsoft is currently indicating that only Intel 8th gen core processors and newer will be supported for W11.

List of supported Intel processors...

Hopefully, Microsoft will relax their processor standards as the months roll by, and the public complains.
