I now plainly do not even belief what Microsoft is saying.

If these rejected CPUs give problems, indicate which. Many workarounds have been presented if MS does not support the CPU, but if that is possible, why not allow those CPUs anyhow? We should do much more to prevent e-waste and Microsoft is not doing its best in this respect! I feel forced to new (because safer) hardware.

My fear is that security updates for W11 will get priority, so I will be stuck with a less secure W10. Why not? Is there a security issue? And will I not have a security issue with W10. So best would be to allow this CPU for W11. My computer has Secure Boot and the firmware upgrade for tpm 2.0. I think it is best when most people run the same MS Windows OS. It's kind of a shame if Microsoft does that, because I can't believe that a two-year-old computer is so museum-aged that it won't get the latest operating system updates. However, the summary states that 'Windows 11 does not currently support the processor.' Are there any compatible processors to add and when could my laptop processor be supported somewhere? Or will Microsoft coldly put some processors out of support? When using Microsoft Computer Health Check to check for Windows 11 compatibility, that processor is the only problem that should prevent my computer from upgrading to the new version of Windows 11. Last list(?) of supported Core i5 processors: The processor on my machine is NOT a supported processor.

I myself have a two year old Lenovo Y520 gaming computer with an Intel Core i5-7300HQ CPU 2.50GHz as the processor. The document '' is available online, which lists Intel 11-compatible Intel based processors.
