    Yep. Looks like the "Your PC does not meet minimum requirements..." message in Settings is a bug.

    As it keeps coming and going on its own.

    Been looking over the supported Intel processor list, and shocked that my daughter i7-6700 is shut out but the Pentium Silver J5005 makes the cut.

    This can't be right, the PC parts market is all over the place atm, and this will only add to the problems, has Microsoft done deals with AMD and Intel to lockout older hardware?

    Panos and his presentation today kept on about the inclusive ideology , and stressed that Windows 11 was for everyone, across all devices, shame he meant that only was for Cpu's that were less than 4 years old :(

    This is because i7-6700 is not on processors compatibility lists.... EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM WITH F.... SKYLAKE. As far i have seen minimum is 8XXX proc.
