For users who are receiving the following message in your Windows Insider Settings:
Your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. Your device may continue to receive Insider Preview builds until Windows 11 is generally available, at which time it is recommended to clean install to Windows 10.

2021-06-25T00:27:32+00:00 Will it be possible to install Windows 11 via an ISO file when it becomes publicly available if all the other requirements are matched except the processor which they require to be 8 gen or above ( I have 7 gen )

2021-06-25T00:21:14+00:00 I've checked everything, I have TPM 2.0 enabled, Secure Boot enabled, a quad cores 2.6GHz (Intel i7 6700HQ), Intel HD530 with DX 12.1 and WDDM 2.1, 150Go available on an SSD, GTX960m WDDM 3.0 already, 16Go of RAM and yet both the Insider page and the software tells me that my PC doesn't meet the required configuration, what's going on ?!

2021-06-25T00:18:55+00:00 The requirement checker should specify WHY it thinks the computer doesn't meet requirement instead of just saying it doesn't.
I meet all requirements on paper and according to tpm.msc I have version 2.0, so I'm very confused as to what the problem is in my case.
I wondered the same too. My Surface Pro 5 meets the requirements. However, there is a link to compatible Intel CPUs: Windows Processor Requirements Windows 11 Supported Intel Processors | Microsoft Docs
7th gen i-7 isn't supported.
