Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Why Microsoft is not currently making i7 7700HQ support Windows 11?

Any official information  on the real reason? I see many other inferior processors supporting the new operating system and frankly it makes no sense at all. 

 

Thank you for your time.

Hi:

 

You'd have to as Microsoft as they are the ones that came up with the strict requirements.

 

Here's what this site indicates...

 

Why Windows 11 has such strict hardware requirements, according to Microsoft | Ars Technica

 

I just used one of the many methods to bypass the W11 hardware checks and upgraded to W11 on all of my PC's not meeting the hardware requirements.

 

They have gotten every update released since October and they all run better on W11 than they did on W10.

 

One of the PC's I upgraded to has the i7-7700 processor.

 

There is no way I was going to just accept the fact that it could not be upgraded.

 

I check the updates the PC's get against one that meets all of the hardware requirements for W11.
