Upgrade for Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3408 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

[KW115]

I'm new to this forum. Looking for some help. I have an HP Envy 750-177c and I'd like to upgrade to Windows 11. MS tool says the processor is not supported. 

System info says the following: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3408 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s).

Can someone help me identify the appropriate processor that would meet Windows 11 requirements? 

This is a home machine, no heavy graphics, medium use. 

Thank you in advance for any help and guidance!!

Hi:

Below is the link to the product specs for your PC.

There are no supported W11 capable processors you can upgrade to.

Intel processors need to be 8th generation core or newer.

You should be able to upgrade your PC to W11, but you would have to use one of the several W11 hardware check bypass methods to upgrade.

I found this method to be the easiest way to do that...

Should you be interested in upgrading your PC to W11, first I would make a system image of your current W10 installation prior to updating to W11, so you can easily reinstall W10 in the future.  I used the free Macrium Reflect software to do that, under the Backup at Home section. 

Along with the system image, make sure you create the bootable DVD or USB rescue drive you boot from to access the system image stored on your portable hard drive.
