I ran the PC health check on my PC and received the following message: the processor (Intel Core i5-7400T CPU @ 2.40GHz) isn't currently supported for Windows 11. I ran a search online and saw that I could reach out to the computer manufacturer to check/upgrade the processor to one that support Windows 11. Has anyone had any luck trying that? My PC is no longer under warranty, which is why I'm asking the community first, as I no longer receive HP support. **I have seen tutorials to "bypass" the requirement, but I would prefer not to since it's not recommended. Any other recommendations would be great. Thx!
