Microsoft Windows 11

I have an HP Pavilion Desktop 570-p026. It has an i5-7400 CPU in it. When I do the PC health check it says that CPU is not compatible with Windows 11. But when I look at the list of compatible Windows 11 CPU's mine is in the list. Is there a way around this so I can upgrade to 11?

Hi:

 

Your PC's processor does not meet Microsoft's W11 processor requirements.

Your only option would be to use one of the W11 hardware check bypass methods to upgrade to W11.

 

If you are interested in trying out W11, you can read the discussion below for how I upgraded my PC's to the latest version of W11:
