    Processor nogo Win11 upgrade - Upgrade processor?

    Windows 10 Pro 21H1

    I ran the MS Win11 hardware suitability tool. And my trusty, 3 year old Lenovo P50 failed--reason: processor.

    The machine's processor is: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz

    Just curious... is it reasonable that a newer processor might be plug compatible with the motherboard and with Win11?

    Below in this list I've prepared for the many many times this topic is going to arise there's a list of CPUs that are deemed compatible:

    You could try this tool... it may tell you "why" you are failing... 3rd Party tool to check for Win 11 compatibility - GitHub | Windows 11 Forum


    Specifications:
    Find Windows 11 specs, features, and computer requirementshttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...specifications
    Full specification:
    https://download.microsoft.com/downl...ndows%2011.pdf

    Graphics:

    Only machines after about 2015 can support Direct X 12 graphics. Try dxdiag.exe on yours e.g. from a Run box

    CPU:
    You can check to see if your CPU is in this list: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...tel-processors

    TPM

    Check whether you have TPM 2 and if it’s enabled: run
    tpm.msc
    from e.g. a run command.

    Intel Gives Core i3 and Core i5 Dual-Core Processors K0 Stepping Update

    Intel is giving some existing 32 nm "Clarkdale" based Core i3 and Core i5 processors an update. The processors will transition to the new K0 stepping from the existing C2 stepping. The parts that will be made on the K0 silicon are Core i3 models 530 (new sSPEC: SLBX7), 540 (new sSPEC: SLBTD) and Core i5 models 650 (new sSPEC: SLBTJ), 660/661 (SLBTK/SLBTB), 670 (SLBTL). Newer and upcoming models such as the i3-550, i3-560, i5-665K, and i5-680 are already being built on the K0 stepping die. Motherboards will require a BIOS update to support the new K0 stepping processors.

    The K0 stepping change includes the following highlights:
    • New S-spec and MM numbers for the converting products
    • Extended CPUID will change from 0x00020652 to 0x00020655
    • Host RevID will change from 0x12 to 0x18
    • K0 stepping package is pin compatible with C2 stepping package
    • Adds Processor Context ID (PCID) support
    The revised older SKUs that are built on K0 stepping will be market-available by October 16.
