Question Is the i5-7200U capable of running Windows 11 ?

[Wing901]

Although i5-7200U is not on the list, I want to know if it is Windows 11 compatible ?

I'd suggest looking up the support site for your laptop (considering the processor you've mentioned is a mobile part) and see if it has any support for Windows 11.

You might want to read through this;
https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobi...ors/Windows-11-processor-support/td-p/1575063
and this;

https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/rm9eoy/i_upgraded_to_windows_11_on_my_intel_core_i57200u/

but you've been warned that you're only trying to skirt an issue that can't be solved (installing Windows 11 on an unsupported platform).

It is but not officially supported by MS. Just recently they upped requirements for Intel CPUs to 11th generation so to use it you have to "cheat" by using for instance Rufus to bypass requirements. MS tolerates it for now but unknown for how long.

Couple of month ago, for AMD is still from 2nd generation.

No, still goes down to 8th Gen Intel
