Omen Desktop 870-157c
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Windows PC Health Check is telling me that my HP Omen Desktop 870-157c cpu, a Core i7, 6700K does not meet minimum requirements.  All other requirements for Windows 11 are met.  

 

How do I upgrade my cpu to meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11????

That is true, your machine only has Intel Gen 6 CPU and Windows 11only supports Intel Gen 8 up (similar for AMD CPU) But if you wish you can bypass that using

 

               Installing Windows 11 on devices that don't meet minimum system requirements

Why is my 4 year old computer to old for a new operating system.  That is what I think Microsoft is telling me.  That is so much baloney.  I can not afford to buy a new computer every 4 years just to satisfy the Operating System Manufacturer so his new operating system will get plenty of use.  Nuts to that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
