Product: ZBook 17 G3
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My ZBook 17 G3 has the Intel  i7-6820HQ CPU.  The coming Windows 11 release does not support the 6th generation Intel processors.  The current configuration is more than enough for the work I do.  However, I am thinking about upgrading to a supported processor like the 8th generation just to get the new Windows version.  Any advice on upgrading the processor on this platform?  Would other upgrades be required (i.e. power supply or fan)?
