CPU compatibility

I am considering one of the Beelink mini fanless PC's that comes with an Intel Twin Lake N150 CPU.  While this CPU is not specifically on Microsoft's list of approved Win11 CPU's, the N100 and N200 are.  Any reason not to believe this processor will work?

I've read several posts on processors that will run Win11 initially but have problems as upgrades occur.  Can anyone verify if this is an issue with the Intel N150 processor?

he Intel Twin Lake N150 runs Windows 11 without hacks, and Beelink ships these systems with Windows 11 preinstalled. There is no solid evidence that Windows updates or feature upgrades fail specifically because of the N150.

The issues you’ve read about usually come from older or unsupported CPUs or from OEM driver and BIOS problems, not the processor itself. With the N150, updates generally work, though you may occasionally need to handle drivers or BIOS updates manually, which is common with small mini PC vendors.
