Hi there, I recently seen that my computer is able to upgrade to the 11 when it becomes available to my Laptop. I used the PC health it said to check, I had everything except it told me my Processor intel i3-7100U Cpu at 2.40GHz, doesn't support it.. When I looked up the requirements for the 11 it shows my computer is supported and I should get the update when I read your 11 requirements. So I'm super confused about this. I have an 8gb ram so my storage wasn't the problem

Your PC's processor is not on Microsoft's list of processors supported for W11.
Windows processor requirements Windows 11 supported Intel processors | Microsoft Learn
You need to have an Intel 8th generation core or newer processor.
If you are happy with your PC and if you are interested in installing W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video:
How to install Windows 11 24H2 on Unsupported PC (Early Access) 2024 (youtube.com)
Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).
Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)
You can download the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below. The top line is for 64 bit.
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.
