Intel Core i5-7500 7th Generation Processor are capable for windows 11?

Question

I am useing "Intel Core i5-7500 7th Generation Processor,gigabyte b250m gaming 5 motherboard,corsair 8x8 gb 2400MHZ ram,2tb hhd,SSD 256 gb nvme samsung 970 evo plus,220 gb,Transcend 220S 240GB 2.5 Inch SATAIII SSD". Can i use windows 11 on this specifications?

Answer 1

So my 5 year old HIGH SPEC Asus X75VS with i5 3230M is not going to be compatible with Win 11 ?
Why did I think otherwise ?
It is a 2.6Ghz processor with 2 cores and my laptop has 8 (read it.. 8 Gb RAM) - Again not good enough
How can I discover the version of Direct X installed ? - its not going to be up to date / good enough is it ?
I also am waiting for the bugging messages to start "TIME TO UPGRADE....." but I can't and shouldn't be forced to.
I believe that MS has made a mistake with the requirements for Win11 and it will be a failure !

Answer 3

Microsoft is clearly in league with Intel - trying to con poor customers into buying new PC's (with Intel Inside) just so they can continue to use the latest version of Windows (although, up until last year - MS said that Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows) - explain that
As for the requirement for TPM
NEITHER my 5 year old HIGH SPEC ASUS X75VC or my 7 year old EVEN higher spec i7 desktop are compatible - how many devices are compatibke
I reckon that either MS reduces the requirement for TPM or this upgrade will be a Win Vista type FLOP !

Hi WalterUllrich-3771,

Windows 11 can be installed on most computers in either a supported or unsupported fashion.

There is full support for Windows 10 for 3 to 4 years: Oct 14, 2025

Many continue to use Windows 7 and there has been no support for years: Jan 14, 2020

Answer 5

For the record, Microsoft has also had a track record of every other version of Windows being great and not bloated or whatever the case may be:

Windows Version	Community Option
XP	Great: Still used by ATM's and POS systems today
Vista	Awful: Bloated, buggy, slow
7	Great: Stripped down version of Vista with great bug fixes
8, 8.1	Awful: Bloated, disorganized, ugly, all apps full-screen
10	Great: cleaner than 8, 8.1, no forced full-screen apps/Start
11	Iffy: task bar centered by default (Mac wanna-be), unreasonable spec req's, was originally not meant to be
12	[unknown]

So maybe, given the history, Microsoft will learn from these mistakes and fix this requirement issue...
