Hello,

I can't upgrade to W11 because of my processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600T CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2712 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s). My motherboard is 829a KBC version 06.29

So what processor updates can I get fot it?

Thx

you can't change the cpu to one that windows 11 supports, however you can modify the windows 11 installer setup to bypass the TPM 2.0/cpu restrictions allowing the OS to install on older non compliant hardware

 

for a clean install, (recommended" download the windows 11 ISO image (not the usb based one)

 

https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

 

then download RUFUS, it has the ability to read the MS ISO and create a new ISO or USB key based Installer that bypasses the hardware restrictions and the rufus created ISO/USB key will install on most older hardware without any problems

for a inplace upgrade from win 10 to 11 see some of Paul_Tikkanen previous posts
