Windows 10: Windows 11 upgrade processor issue

I have a MICROSOFT Surface Pro running Windows 10 on an i5-7300u @ 260ghz intel processor.My upgrade panel tells me this processor is not supported for windows 11.PC health tells me the same, while everything else has a green tick.However, Microsoft's own list of supported processors says it IS supported.Any advice on how I can sort this problem?Thanks

:)

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....

 

Processor upgrade

The process is just as bobkn described.

To avoid problems with the flash, do the following:

• Download the 3 files you need, and save them to an easy to find location - Desktop, etc. You will need BIOS version F32, BIOS version F50, and the EC FW update utility.
• You will need a blank USB thumb drive (nothing on it). The thumb drive needs to be formatted FAT32 (the standard for most thumb drives), not NTFS.
• Step one is to flash to BIOS F32, so copy the F32 BIOS file to the thumb drive. Only the file, not the entire folder if it comes zipped up.
• Perform the Flash as directed in the instructions.
• When the flash is done, don't forget to do the last step: "Load Optimized Defaults" .
• Then Install the EC FW update utility. Always best to restart the PC after the installation.
• Then delete the F32 BIOS from the flash drive and copy over the F50 Bios to it.
• Then install the F50 BIOS.

And then you are ready to upgrade the processor.

Note: always a good idea, after installing the processor and entering BIOS to check it out, to Load Optimized Defaults again, then Save & Exit.
Make any BIOS customizations after you have tested the system and Windows and all is good.
