I’m confused (nothing new there!). A couple of weeks ago I acquired a three year old Dell Optiplex 7050 micro PC. It is a refurbished (by Stone) model, with a COA Windows 10 for refurbished PCs. It has an Intel i5 processor (6500T) running at 2.5GHz, and it is quad core.
I assumed that once I had updated Windows 10 it would offer me the free Windows 11 upgrade, but no. It says the CPU does not meet the requirements (everything else does). Last year my brother had a Geobook with a Celeron CPU running at 1.1GHz, dual core, which did the upgrade.
My question therefore is, why is my CPU considered not capable when a far inferior CPU is?
