Product: OMEN X by HP 900-140vt CTO
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

What, if any, are my options to upgrade my processor to be compatible with Windows 11?

 

MS Windows upgrade tool says my processor isnt compatible. Yes, I know I can upgrade to Win 11 anyway, but I have seen where the auto updates won't work, and probably wont get any support, as well as who knows what else won't work?

I bought this system specifically so I could upgrade it when the time came.  Well.. WIndows 11 comes, and guess what.  My processor isn't supported for upgrade to Win 11. What nonsense!

Current configuration:
System Model OMEN X by HP Desktop PC 900-1XX

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz, 4201 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home, Version 10.0.19044 Build 19044

@Gunny0100,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

Unfortunately, your OMEN X By HP 900-140vt CTO (Y4R45AV) according to: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05404680, has chipset Z170, which is not compatible with W11 'approved' processors...

 

And yes, it IS nonsense.  I have a heavily upgraded HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF with an i7-7700K which rivals many so-called W11 approved CPUs.

 

I feel your pain, so to speak.
