Notes
Microsoft's supported processor lists for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 start at 8th Gen Intel Core (plus select Core X-series 7000X models), so this processor is not supported; Windows 10 is. Microsoft has not published a separate processor list for Windows 11 26H2, so the 25H2 status is carried over. Mainstream Linux distributions and ChromeOS Flex are supported. macOS is not supported.
