The Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q stops at 9th Gen — no 10th Gen support on LGA 1151

Like the M920q, the M720q uses an LGA 1151 socket with 8th and 9th Gen Core processor support. It also accepts Celeron and Pentium Gold variants, making it flexible for budget builds. The notable limitation: it stops at 9th Gen entirely. 10th Gen or newer Intel CPUs won’t work here, so if you’re eyeing an upgrade path beyond Coffee Lake, this isn’t the platform for it. Ideal for what it is — a solid 8th/9th Gen office machine with headroom for a cheap Pentium or a used i7-8700T.
