The Windows update compatibility check runs a scheduled task that runs periodically compared to PC Health Check App which shows information in real-time. So, if you turned on a requirement like TPM recently, the status in Windows update would take a while to change, so give it a day or two. If you cannot wait, update manually using the steps below:

Check Windows 11 compatibility

Download Windows 11

Use the Installation Assistant to Download Windows 11

Alternatively, download an ISO file and Run Setup.exe to Start the Upgrade, using Windows 11 Media Creation Tool.

All steps, including MCT and Installation Assistant, are covered here:

    When I run the compatibility tool Says that the processor is not supported in windows 11, looking at the list of supported processors for Windows 11... My Computer´s processor is listed there, supported: Intel Core i7-7560U .

    Can´t Install.... Please Help!!!

    Your processor is not on the list. Check again:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

    There are only three 7th gen Intel core processors on the list, and they are all Core i7 78xx.

    Why would MS not update the list once compatibility is proved or new chips released this just doesn’t make any sense.

    And why all these issues, surely the INSIDER programme should have paved the way?

    Windows 10 is supported until 2025.

    Hopefully this is a joke.

    Windows' flagship machine, one of the most expensive consumer machines ever sold, can't be upgraded to the latest version of the operating system, despite being under three years old.

    If it's not a joke, then Microsoft Surface is and it's time people knew.

    Fix it please. Or there'll be trouble.
