I recently raised the issue on Microsoft's Q&A site regarding older, but technically compatible processors not being accepted by the PC Health Check tool, nor being on Microsoft's accepted processors list. I was mainly concerned about technically compatible processors used on machines other than PCs but used for VMS not even being considered. I got the following encouraging response:
I also plan on raising this (as was also recommended) in Microsoft's Win11 forum at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...&threadType=All&isFilterExpanded=false&page=1. It does no good if only I do this and helps if they get a virtual deluge of questions for those of us in this situation. Then perhaps we can get some critical mass on this potentially huge problem.
Hi Mark,
Thank you for your question.
Recently the integrity check application has been undergoing updates to further expand the number of devices compatible with windows 11. It is true that some of the processors considered old were not being recommended for using windows 11, however this has been changed every week after week, because the idea is to reach as many users as possible with windows 11.
So, you shouldn't worry, as much as it doesn't seem to be "compatible" now, it will soon be, with the windows 11 integrity updates.
