Why is my processor considered not compatible with Windows 11

Question

So my COmputer is running windows 10 and of course it will no longer be supported. So i was planning to update. You update tools though seam to declare my processor is incompatible. So i go to your web sites list of compatible processors for Intel. I and see for the I3 version you skip a huge cross section of them. You start with low end processors skips ones that outperform those processors then list the 8000 series and beyond...so your listing only goes up to the 1800 generations which are low end I3 processors that don't even have enough cores required and skip every thing between 1800 to 8000 My processor is a 2100 it has 4 cores...it has the latest mmx coding and out performs the 1800 and below. it has the muti thread ability to run simultaneous the the two differing computation methods introduced because it was not decided which was best at the time.

So my main question is why is my processor not considered compatible and instead you list processors that do not even have 2 cores or the correct threading or loaded mmx on them considered compatible. This looks like a huge error on whom ever made that list. I am already balking at the fact you want a slow data communication like 5G ie the coined phrase from telephone people it in no way shape or form gives 5 gigs a second. the cellular towers are stillt he same ones from before they have horrible software for phones. also the ssd thing...lol......seriously.....one power surge one power glitch and bye bye ssd might as well just run with a ram drive if you seriously need drive speed and reqwuire the user to not turn off the system.

Hello

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Your Intel Core i3-2100 processor is indeed not compatible with Windows 11. Microsoft has set the minimum requirement for processors to be at least 8th generation Intel CPUs

The i3-2100 is a 2nd generation processor, which is why it doesn't meet the criteria.
