HP Envy Phoenix Desktop 850-009a Not Valid for Windows 11 Upgrade

[DHB7]

A windows health check suggests that the main chip - i7-4790K is not capable of running windows 11. Surely this is an omission from the approved list?

Hi:

Microsoft drew the cutoff at the Intel 8th gen core processors, which is why your PC's processor is not supported.

It probably does not have a TPM 2.0 security device either.

If you are interested in clean installing W11 on your PC (which can be done), let me know and I will give you the steps to do so.

Hello
Warning @DHB7

Windows 11 on devices that don't meet minimum system requirements 
We risk having serious problems, probably updates, security problems, we do not really know what else

If the installation goes well for some, for others it can be complicated

go back to windows 10 - HP Support Community - 8200306

Think carefully, before taking the risk, see the experiences of other users, see if it can be interesting, or if you can wait to have a new computer later, 100% compatible!
Windows 10 remains one of the best systems, and can be used for quite a while.

I have performed the installation with a compatible computer ..
And I can not take full advantage of the more or less interesting features, because you have to have a certain material

So far, so there is nothing extraordinary about this system
So if the computer is not compatible, you have little interest in using it ..
In some cases, we can have more problem than something else (performance etc), it is better to wait until most of the bugs are solved.
And even better to have a 100% compatible computer, in order to be able to take advantage of the available features
Now, if you want to give it a try, first plan to use specialized software, and make a ghost copy of your installation.
