Windows 10: Processor not supported by Win 11

Hi I have an Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU @2.60GHz processor which is not supported for Win 11. Should I wait & see if it will be in the future or should I get a new processor?Thanks in advanced.

:)

 

Why can't my Processor meet requirement for a Win 11 Upgrade ???

List of supported processors for Win 11:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...tel-processors

Is yours there?

Also note the message has links you can click. Did you do that? 'More about'...

Also note no TPM was detected.

Naturally you can upgrade to Win 11 by one means or another even with 'incompatible' devices, as has been documented on this forum multiple times. Someone's eve written a tutorial on that if you search/look around.

The restriction is implemented by the installer.

There is a nominal risk of so-called 'non-supported' systems not receiving upgrades or updates.

Is Win 11 better? Well, the taskbar is a lot less functional....

I'm confused about a notification from Microsoft about upgrading to win 11. The notification said my PC doesn't meet a requirement which makes 0 sense. It says my CPU isn't on an approved list of CPUs. But my processor is crazy fast. How is this possible?

Below is a screenshot of what it claims I require although again it makes 0 sense. Can someone tell me if this is a joke from Microsoft or is this a mistake? Is win 11 all that and better than 10?

No offense but not knowing what 'wtf' is means youre late to 2021.


I built my PC in 2016. All modern motherboards have TPM. I think maybe the error means that its not enabled. I think I need to enable it in the bios.

So non-supported PCs may not receive nominal updates. Is that all or some? Which types are restricted?

So youre saying that 11 isnt worth upgrading I suppose.
