Notes: Windows 11 requires 8th Gen Intel Core or newer, so this processor is not on Microsoft's supported lists for 24H2, 25H2 or 26H2; Windows 10 is supported. Mainstream Linux distributions run on it, although builds that require the x86-64-v3 (AVX2) baseline do not, and ChromeOS Flex installs on 64-bit x86 hardware of this era.
