Intel support documents imply that Microsoft Win10 cannot support Wi-Fi 7 wireless networks

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Daniel Wu in South China and soft media users 1520111 for their clue delivery! CTOnews.com August 24, the source Chi11eddog recently disclosed an Intel internal support document on X (Twitter), indicating that Win11 and subsequent updates will add support for the Wi-Fi 7 network.

In this support document, it is indicated that Win11, some Linux distributions and some ChromeOS can support the Wi-Fi 7 network, but the Win10 system is not mentioned.

Chi11eddog said in a subsequent tweet that there was a high probability that Win10 could not support Wi-Fi 7 networks because it lacked the necessary Wi-Fi 7 drivers verified by Microsoft.

CTOnews.com encloses Intel's introduction to the Wi-Fi 7 network as follows:

The functionality of Wi-Fi 7 will be based on previous generations of Wi-Fi products and will be improved. It will not only improve speed, but also significantly improve responsiveness and reliability to support immersive consumer experiences and complex future technologies.

For a typical Wi-Fi 7 laptop, its advantage is that the potential maximum big data speed is close to 5.8 Gbps. This is 2.4 times faster than the 2.4 Gbps that can be achieved by the Wi-Fi 6ax 6e, and can easily support high-quality 8K video streams, or reduce the download time for large files of 15 GB to about 25 seconds, while using the best-performing older Wi-Fi technology takes one minute.
