Really Need Help

[JosephFMooreJr81051]

I have an Intel(R) Core TM i5-6400T CPU@2.20GHz with Intel64 Family 6 Model 94 x64 with 4 cres and 4 Threads. Processor ID - 0x506E3. Revision - 24067. I am now running win11 Home, and still getting updates and have not had a bit of trouble on my computer. As a matter of fact it is running faster than when I bought it.

I have a HP 24-n014.

My question is, Why are they trying to make me buy or update what I have when It is running better than I could have imagined with all the win11 updates? The screen is beautiful and the colors and imaging are awesome.

I need help understanding all of this.

Please help me understand.

Sincerely :

Joseph F Moore Jr

Ignoring the fact that this was Microsoft's decision, not Intel's, and you should really be asking Microsoft, I will provide an answer.

In a word: Security. Windows 11 wants to use features that were not introduced until the 8th processor generation. People ask: But Windows 10 runs without using this feature. Yes, that's sometimes true, but Microsoft is trying to improve security.

What are the chances of this processor being updated? If not, can I have the next step up from what I have and will it be ok?

Hello JosephFMooreJr81051,  

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. I understand you are getting some update requests from Windows.

In this case, n_scott_pearson is right about the Microsoft reason behind the updates. I recommend you check this request with Microsoft to confirm if you must update your CPU or not.

However, your Intel® Core™ i5-6400T does not appear in the Windows 11 supported list and this could mean that your CPU may present unexpected issues in the future.
