Windows 11 per Notebook HP ENVY - 17-r102nl

[Tony2051]

Windows 11 will ever be available for HP ENVY Notebook - 17-r102nl with Intel Core i7- 6700HQ ?
It does not appear in the list of current compatible models, while models that are far less recent and even with lower performances appear.

Thanks ·

Hi:

Your notebook's processor does not meet the minimum requirements for W11, and if it doesn't have a TPM 2.0 security device, that is also a requirement.

Here is a new and easy way to upgrade any PC currently running W10 to W11.

I would make a system image of your current W10 installation prior to updating to W11, so you can easily reinstall W10 in the future.  I used the free Macrium Reflect software to do that, under the Backup at Home section. 

Along with the system image, make sure you create the bootable DVD or USB rescue drive you boot from to access the system image stored on your portable hard drive.

Macrium Software | Reflect Free Edition

Read and follow the easy instructions at the link below.

No registry changes needed.  No need to create installation media.  Just download the W11 ISO file, and the guy's zip file.

I used this procedure yesterday to do an in-place upgrade an old HP Elitebook 6930p notebook made in 2010 to W11, and I was able to keep my old Office 2010 Starter program that came with the notebook when it had W7 on it, along with all of my other programs files and settings.

The notebook met none of the enhanced W11 hardware requirements.

That is the 9th unsupported W11 PC I have upgraded to W11, and not one of them have had any issues whatsoever.

They have all gotten all the Windows 11 updates released thus far.

I check those against a PC I have that is fully supported to run W11.

Tank you for the support; i'll try  what you  suggest if intel doesn't give available also my CPU for wundows 11 in the next future.

Anyway, my Pc meets requirement to TPM 2.0  security device. 

Tanks again

You're very welcome.

Then you should be fine with upgrading with the link I provided.

Easy as pie.

Microsoft doesn't seem to be giving any indications that they are going to relax the 8th gen core processor minimum requirement.
