Hi,
I have a Pavilion AIO 27-a210t that is currently running a Intel i7-7700t processor. I would like to upgrade it to a Gen 8 core processor so I would be able to upgrade it to Windows 11.
Can this AIO support a Gen 8 core processor?
If so which ones?
Thanks in Advance,
Wayne

The processor upgrade info can be found on the above link.

- Socket type: LGA 1151
- Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:ProcessorTDPIntegrated GraphicsIntel Core i7-7700T (Kabylake) 2.9 GHz Quad Core35 WIntel HD Graphics 630Intel Core i5-7400T (Kabylake) 2.4 GHz Quad Core35 WIntel HD Graphics 630Intel Core i3-7100T (Kabylake) 3.4 GHz Dual Core35 WIntel HD Graphics 630Intel Pentium G4560T (Kabylake) 2.9 GHz Dual Core35 WIntel HD Graphics 610
I believe that they may still be ironing out the final processor requirements.
I have heard that further testing is being done to lower the Intel processor requirements to the 7th gen Kaby Lake processors.
Microsoft could lower CPU requirements for Windows 11 (windowslatest.com)
