Upgrade processor to meet Windows 11 specs

@Roman_Mike 

No, you can't swap CPU from AMD to Intel and vice versa. You have to use a right motherboard. The simplest explanation is Processor won't physically fit.

BTW why are you so concerned with upgrading to windows 11?

In beta bench mark tests in gaming and cad design windows 11 suffers horribly in bench marks. Bench mark gaming FPS is on average 5% lower than windows 10 performance  on bench marks, and in CAD architecture there appears to be problems with the tools in the applications.

windows 11 requires more cpu cache than windows 10 which causes inferior bottle necking in multiple applications..

in my opinion of what Ive experienced so far from windows 11. Its going to be an OS dead on arrival like windows vista and windows 8 which were complete duds.

All windows 11 will do is impact the obsolescence of hardware, making more e waste problems to the environment when people throw out perfectly working hardware just to meet compatibility with windows 11.  

Windows 11 requires more storage space than windows 10, requires more memory and requires minimal cpu’s with with minimum clock speeds of 2 Ghz with multiple cores.

For gaming all that is required is a minimum of 4 cores 8 threads. CAD requires 6 cores 12 threads.

Implementing windows 11 will just mean you need more cores/threads to meet new standardize requirements for most programs that wouldn’t typically require it for windows 10.

Hi, @wwoodman 

Here is the step that I missed other than the registry entries.

You need to download the Windows 11 ISO file (3rd option), not the W11 installation assistant.

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

Then open the file with Windows explorer, and click on the setup application.

To do that, right click on the ISO file and select 'Open With' and select Windows Explorer.

See the screenshot...this is what you will see when you open the file with Windows Explorer.

After you double click to run the setup application, you will get this window, and you can now upgrade to W11.

Thanks Paul, haven't tried that yet as I wanted to do a fresh install but will try next.

Another question-- when I boot into Bios I can't seem to find TPM but did change secure boot to enable and wonder if that is what is stopping from a fresh install?

Thanks again,

Wayne

You're very welcome, Wayne.

It is highly unlikely that your PC has a TPM of any version.

But if you follow the instructions on how to make these registry edits during the clean install, it should work (the section under the last screenshot on the page, starting with the sentence...'If you want to perform a clean install and use an even older CPU...)'.

Here's how to bypass Windows 11's TPM and CPU requirements | TechSpot

That is what I did to clean install W11 on a HP 350 G1 notebook PC with an Intel 4th gen core processor and no TPM.

Worked like a charm.

Great sounds simple enough so will try!

[wwoodman]

Thanks Paul, I just used your method and successfully installed on an older HP desktop and it seems to be working great!

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

Can I upgrade my COP ?! To get a window 11 update?!
