Intel Core i7-6700HQ Not Getting The Windows 11 Update?

Hi there,

The Intel core i7-6700HQ is still even in 2021, a pretty powerful CPU, what led Microsoft to decide that PC users with this CPU should not get an update to windows 11? It is not so that this CPU can't handle the Windows 11 operating system. Should older PC's with still powerful enough CPU's be left out? Is this "good business" for Microsoft?

Would appreciate your insights and comments on this,

Thank you!

    What this means is that a machine that has 52% more kernel mode crashes than a machine that is 99.8% crash free is that the machine in question is only 99.7% crash free.

    That's because the 99.8% crash free machines had 0.2% crashes and 52% more than that is 0.3% crashes. So all machines tested average out to at least 99.7% crash free.

    Misinformation. 1809 went out of support on Nov 10 2020. 20H2 will go out of support this May.

    Your Windows 10 version is quite old and will be out of support soon. That's why it's telling you to update.

    Try the following and see if it works.

    First of all, take a backup. Before updating, it's good to do so.

    Don't worry, your data and apps won't be deleted.

    Go to the following website:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10

    Click on Update now button. This will download a file.

    Run that file and update your computer to the latest build of Windows 10.

    I think you are running an older version of Windows 10.

    Press Windows+R and type winver.

    Press enter.

    Can you send a screenshot of that window? (make sure you don't include any personal information like email, etc. in the screenshot)
