I have this 7 year old laptop that has been a nightmare since I “upgraded” it from 7 to 10. Now You: is your device compatible with Windows 11? The Surface Go's Pentium 4415Y is not on the Intel list. It appears that Microsoft cut older processors that are compatible with Windows 10 from the list. Update: Microsoft released lists of supported Intel and AMD processors. I could not find the reason though, as the Surface Go matches or exceeds all of the requirements listed on the page. You may need to compare the requirements with the capabilities of the PC to determine why it cannot be upgraded to Windows 11.
