Hello Khizer,

Good day! I'm John and I'll be happy to assist you today. I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.

I'm sorry, i5 4th gen is not on the list of Windows 11 supported Intel processors.

The minimum system requirements for Windows 11 are at least 8th Gen processors (except for very few 7th Gen processors). This is to meet Microsoft principles about security and reliability.

There has been no new announcement from Microsoft yet if they plan to add more processors to the list. You may need to consider using Windows 10 as it continues to be a great version of Windows. Microsoft is committed to supporting Windows 10 until October 14, 2025.

Stay safe and have a great weekend.

Kind regards,
