Windows 10: Can we downgrade from windows 11 to windows 10 if I have Intel core i3 3120M processor?

I have windows 10 PC upgraded from windows 8.1 3-4 months ago and planning to upgrade my PC to windows 11 but my processor is not compatible with the PC. So, I was planning to first upgrade to Windows 11 and check if the PC works or not. If not, I also have Plan B of downgrading the PC to Windows 10. So, the processor is not compatible so can I downgrade it with ease, or it is difficult/time taking.These are my PC's System information.Device name VAIO Processor IntelR Core TM i3-3120M CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz Installed RAM 6.00 GB 5.88 GB usable System type 64-bit operating system, x64

Earlier i3 processor may not support Windows 10 64 bit

The Intel i3/i5/i7 processors should all be well supported for Windows 10 64 Bit. Details about that specific processor are here:

Intel core i3-7100

Hi John

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

The Intel Core i3-7100 is not on the list of supported processors for Windows 11.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardwa...

Microsoft were testing and adding some more processors, and did add some to the list, they indicate they have now completed testing, and no more processors will be added to the official list.

It is possible to install Windows 11 on an unsupported processor using the Windows 11 ISO, I have Windows 11 installed on an unsupported Core i7 7700QH processor and Windows 11 runs very smoothly, however Microsoft advise you do not do that, they will not be liable for any problems caused by doing that and also you would not receive Windows 11 updates

Another option would be to contact your PC manufacturer to see if that processor can be upgraded.

Hi, I am an Independent Advisor.

Let me help you with this issue.

I understand that you need to know if your Intel Core i3 6100T processor is compatible with Windows 11.

Unfortunately, I was not able to find this specific processor on the list of compatible processors for Windows 11. Please see the links below. It only means that this processor that you have is not compatible with Windows 11.
