    Basically…. It’s old and they don’t want to support the architecture.

    At least that’s the answer MS will give.

    The reality is there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s more powerful than most lower end laptops and could run win 11 just fine except they want to sell you new hardware.

      Microsoft only supports Intel processors in the ranges where Intel still supports the processors.

      While they still work Intel no longer offers support for the 7th gen and back, so Microsoft writes them off rather than borrowing trouble.
