windows 10 on the i7-3770?

[legacyfan]

I'm working on making my first ever actual desktop computer and decided I'm going to have 7-10 next to each other on the same computer plus linux and I was wondering if the i7-3770 would work with windows 10 I know it had stricter requirements for what can and can't run on it so my a question is will it be compatible with windows 10? if anyone could help figure this out it would be much appreciated-legacyfan

An i7-3770? You should have absolutely no issues whatsoever. I'm running Windows 11 on an i7-2600 and it works fantastic, albeit with a workaround method so it would actually install. But performance-wise, no issues at all. Windows 11 out of the box is where you're going to be limited to late 7th gen Intel CPUs or higher without a workaround.

It works but performance is probably going to be sluggish as in my personal experience.

You need an SSD and something a bit newer for Windows 10 to even open its start menu properly.
