Is the i7-5500u supported for Windows 11 or not? 2 lists say different things

[Filingo]

On this list the i7-5500u shows as supported by Windows 11:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-10-21h2-supported-intel-processors

And on this it's not:

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

 

And the PC Health Check says "This processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11

 

Why?

Hi there,

 

The i7-5500U is not supported by Windows 11 as it doesn't have TPM 2.0 built into it.

thank you, the BIOS does show TPM but it's greyed out, then I checked this HP forum and saw that in order to make it non-greyed out I should set administrator password:

So I was thinking about going to bios to set administrator password, but now you say it does not have TPM at all. So this option is just there because it's a generic HP BIOS?

 

Update: It's TPM 1.2

The processor has TPM 1.2 but that is not supported by Windows 11 which requires the 2.0.

haha yes check my updated reply, you quoted it a second before I updated it  well, I guess I'll stay with Windows 10, or use one of those bypassing methods to do it if they still work
