I have the same processor of Intel. It is really disappointing situation. Also for Intel. Have a look at Apple? They are everytime supporting old generation PC's with the new softwares. INTEL i7, 2.5GHZ processor is not compatible with the new Windows 11. I will never buy Intel processor PC and never select Windows.

I have the same problem I checked the list and with the compatible CPU's under the windows 21H1 version and under intel our chip set is listed in the range of compatible CPU's but health check gives the not supported, both Dell and Windows help told me its out of their control what health check is doing????? they refused to help. I have looked on Dell website and all they want you to do is buy a new computer, they are even selling the same computers as what I already have but with windows 11 on them so I would like to know what they are doing to make them windows 11 ready but wont help us out????
Hi. Greetings from southern California!
I have an HP Envy, with the i7-6500u processor, also with 2.5 GHz, and with Version (not Build) Windows 10 21H1. On this list:
...it indicates the i7-6500u is compatible. It's likely some MS programmer didn't include in when designing the PC Health Check program. Perhaps when they composed, or copied and pasted the list of compatible processors, they inadvertently skipped this one. Consequently, they need to add this back in to their list.
My real concern: whether my old version of MS Office will work. I have the one where I don't pay monthly fees, and I like it that way. I also have Adobe CS6, but who the heck knows if these programs will work once the upgrade is completed. Anyone know of a list of compatible programs?
Thanks, and good luck!

Hello Naveen
I think it is Microsoft goal to contribute to Intel sales.

It doesn't make sense when you consider MANY of the Surface PRO 4 devices run Intel Core i7-6500U CPU @ 2.5Ghz Processer. Crazy. You would think MS would want the Surface customers on Windows 11.

Some of these posters crack me up - never buy an Intel again. OK. Cuz there are no AMD processors on the not supported list? Switch to Apple? OK, I'm sure you never met anyone that was upset their headphone jack was gone. Or their USBB3 port. Or their video out. Or their phone was unable to upgrade. Sure. But, to the actual point, Microsoft hasn't communicated WHY this particular CPU is not on the supported list. I DO HAVE THREE OTHER Windows PC's that are already upgraded, and I KNOW Microsoft wants everyone to Upgrade! Microsoft - fix the problem instead of just presenting it to us.

It is definitely not in the list of CPUs supported by Windows 11
But you can install windows 11 manually. I test it.
and
no problem. I install manually windows 11.
its work normally in Core i7-CPU 6500U @ 2.5Ghz Processor

How do you install windows 11 manually?
My system shows Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz, 2592 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical
But not getting any options to install Windows 11

I have the same problem also.. It's really bad news!
especially with such expensive and powerful processor!
I think we must to think seriously about switching to Apple devices, as they are more stable and we can update IOS periodically regardless of the processors or generation of Macbook
That's funny - my gal just got back from the Apple store yesterday where they told her that her MacBook cannot install the current IOS. Sorry, no more. That's funny. Well, like my Windows 10 Notebook, it still runs (and, by the way, my other two Dell notebooks and all three of my Dell Desktops installed Win11 a LONG time ago and work fine).

For computers running Windows 10 many computers users have installed Windows 11 in either a supported or unsupported fashion.
Computers with unsupported installations may not benefit from the improvements in performance, reliability, and security.

This is unfortunately the case. Now apple has one more customer.

I found with a clean install 10/9/2023 it installed fine, so far so good, all updates no problems so far. Possibly security issues maybe? just installed KB5030219 no issues yet, that's the 2023-09 cumulative update for windows 11 version 22H2. this is an ongoing install. Intel core(TM) i7-6700HQ 2.60 Ghz, 2592 Mhz, 4 cores, 8 logical. The compatibility checker says it's not compatible, and the reason I can't upgrade. Fresh install from usb had no issues. updates, no issues so far. I will after this go to intel for any firmware and updates. 10/09/23
UPDATE: 10/10/23, Have installed most of my software including autocad 2023 and have had no issues at all, no crashes, it's running great.
