Hello,
Why is my HP laptop with an "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.71 GHz" processor not supported by Windows 11?
Does Microsoft want to force us to change machines?
This is the first time I can't enjoy a major update with a relatively recent computer, quite powerful with 8GB of RAM and a decent hard drive.
Why doesn't Microsoft support this processor?
Do you think they will support it one day???
Or should I opt for an Apple laptop?
Configuration: Windows / Firefox 93.0

Hello,
This is not an update, but a version change.
Your memory seems a bit short: Microsoft has never offered a migration from Win9X-Win2000-WinXP.
The one from Windows 7 to Windows 8 was temporary and also faced hardware impossibilities (or later, just as bad, manufacturers who hadn't developed drivers for the next version).
Your processor, in terms of being recent, was launched in the third quarter of 2016, mine, also for HP, in the fourth, but no better.
But even so, if Microsoft were to change its mind, migration would only become possible, and it might not necessarily be a good idea: the requirements in terms of processors indicate that, with a processor that doesn't meet them, the system would likely suffer from unbearable slowness.
After all, we have support for Windows 10 until 2025, and it will continue to work for a good while after that: I see no reason to change a winning team; it will be time in 2027 to change my PC, which will be 9 or 10 years old then, and which will likely be equipped with Windows 12 or 13, I don’t know what they will call it.
If the situation is not exactly comparable for Mac OS since there's no licensing cost even outside "promo", hardware incompatibility also exists for the latest versions on machines that are already a bit old.

I can't afford a new computer.
And almost everyone finds that normal. And we are bothered with plastic bottles, drink tap water, etc.

Our dear representatives and ministers need to vote on laws to prevent this kind of behavior from the GAFAM.
Planned obsolescence is already a crime.
It is sometimes confused with MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure), which is not programmed, but results from a statistical lifespan of a product that can depend on the quality of the components used (and thus the selling price) and their usage.
Windows 10 has been on the market since 2015 and Microsoft is expected to provide updates until 2025, but nothing will prevent its use afterwards.
It will eventually stop functioning (as recently happened with XP, which dates back to 2001) when websites incorporate active content that will no longer be compatible or when new software becomes incompatible, but this does not prevent the use of older versions.
The technical incompatibility of certain hardware with Windows 11, to which you are not compelled to migrate, is not directly the fault of Microsoft but rather of, for example, chip manufacturers, and does not constitute planned obsolescence any more than the fact that a 10-year-old car would not have the same technologies as today's models.
Switch to Ubuntu, it's free, I remind you that it's an initiative supported by Nelson Mandela to fight against the hegemony of the USA in terms of Operating Systems.
Ubuntu works with all computers, there is a version that resembles Windows 7, it's Kubuntu.
Ubuntu, Kubuntu are constantly updated, with LibreOffice, a free equivalent to Microsoft Office, the web browsers Firefox, Waterfox, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave work with it.
Some printer drivers also work, no planned obsolescence on Ubuntu, Kubuntu, if you have a printer that no longer works on Windows, it's strange that it works on Ubuntu or Kubuntu.
Windows 11 can only be installed on computers that have a TMP2 security chip, thus forcing everyone to buy a new computer.
But if you use Windows 10, get Windows 10 LTSC, which will be updated until 2029, that gives you time to adjust. Windows 10 LTSC doesn’t have all the cr-p that you find pre-installed on other Windows 10s, it's lighter, very fast.
You can find it on "Truc du Net" in the "OS System" section "Windows 10 LTSC 3in1".
You can use Open-Shell-Menu on it which allows you to have a start menu that looks like Windows 7.
