Windows 11 will only support 8th generation and up CPUs (twitter.com) 2 points by Ashanmaril 5y ago ↗ HN
[–] anshumankmr 5y ago ↗ This is insane. I bought my laptop for a small fortune in 2017 and I cannot upgrade it cause it is a 7th gen i7? [–] xaduha 5y ago ↗ I don't think supported here means it's not going to run on anything else. Maybe some kind of OEM thing? [–] anshumankmr 5y ago ↗ We will have to see. I have an HP Pavilion, their customer support is pretty shitty in my country. [–] xaduha 5y ago ↗ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/min...There are lists for older versions, try to find your processor there. I checked a few and they didn't even have i7-3770, which is nonsense. Rookie mistake by MS employee in that tweet there, click-bait fodder for many FUD spreading sites. [–] anshumankmr 5y ago ↗ Its not there as far as I can see.
