Windows 11 eligibility issue

[Abhinav_Kr]

Hi all, following the results of the PC Health check tool being used for checking windows 11 upgradability, I need to understand why my ProBook stands ineligible for the said windows upgrade - (attaching SS for reference)

I am confident that the laptop qualifies the minimum system requirements for windows 11 upgrade; as mentioned by microsoft. Below are the spec details of my laptop (also refer the SS below for more info):

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 19043) (19041.vb_release.191206-1406)

Hi:

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

Windows 11 requirements - What's new in Windows | Microsoft Docs

List of supported Intel processors...

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

Hmm... i saw their updated list for minimum pc requirement, apparently the generation of intel processor I'm running doesn't work for windows 11.

Thank you for clarification!
