    Question on Upgrade to Windows 11


    I have a PC running Windows 10 Home and I am interested in upgrading to Windows 11. Windows 10 was installed for free by Microsoft as an upgrade to the existing Windows 7 on this PC. I have only the Windows 7 product key. The issue is that the PC is non-compliant for Windows 11 due solely to the processor not being on the approved list.In order to make that PC viable, I would have to replace the processor, which in turn will require a new socket and therefore a new motherboard. As I recall, this modification exceeds the number of "points" Microsoft allows for the existing OS copy to remain

    :)

    Question on Upgrade to Windows 11

    Upgrade to Windows 11

    I want to upgrade my OS from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I have run the compatibility software and got the message that says my Windows 10 software is not compatible with upgrading to Windows 11. I'm looking for a point & click application that will make my Windows 10 OS upgradable to Windows 11 or a file that will provide step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish the upgrade to Windows 11. I expect a list of files/applications that will not run in Windows 11 because my PC is not capable of running the new applications w/o hardware upgrades.
