Notes
Microsoft's Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 processor lists name the Celeron 3000 series, but Windows 11 support for that series covers only the later Kaby Lake Refresh model; original 7th-generation Kaby Lake processors such as this one are not supported, and 26H2 keeps the same hardware requirements. Windows 10 is the newest supported Windows release, and mainstream Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch are supported.
