Windows 11 Home 64-bit
I read an article via Google the other day on my phone. It was telling you which computers from different manufacturers were compatible with Windows 11. My Laptop - HP 255 G7 was on the list as one HP's compatible PC's for the new upcoming OS. However, when I run the PC Health Check, it says it isn't compatible and the processor in it will not run Windows 11.

I am thinking HP knows it will run it, yet it isn't confirmed from Microsoft because they don't tell you what compatible computers will work and because the updated and revised PC Health Check app on my computer has the original application installed. So if the manufacturer says it will run it, then I think it will when 11 is released.

It appears that none of the AMD processors for the HP 255 G7 that HP list here...

HP 255 G7 Notebook PC Specifications | HP® Customer Support

Specifications page for the HP 255 G7 Notebook PC.
support.hp.com support.hp.com

...are on Microsoft's current list of supported AMD processors.

docs.microsoft.com

Windows processor requirements Windows 11 supported AMD processors

This specification details the AMD processors that can be used with Windows 11 customer systems that include Windows products, including custom images.
docs.microsoft.com

Check your processor against that MS list to see if it is supported. The supported processors may change to include some older processors by release. I'm hoping so as none on my machines have an Intel processor newer than 7th gen - and currently MS only support 8th gen or newer for Windows 11.
