My laptop PC fulfill all the requirements to upgrade to windows 11 OS except the processor which is i3-7020u (7th gen). Is there any safe and secure way to upgrade to windows 11 without any issues so that I will get all the updates from Microsoft in future ?

My PC hardware specs:

processor: i3 7th gen

Memory: 32 gb (ddr4)

Graphics: Intel hd 620

Hard disk : 1000 gb

M.2 SSD : 500 gb (boot drive)

The very first hurdle is the processor, Windows 11 won't install normally on that Gen 7th processor.  I would wait and saving money to buy new machine with Windows 11.

 

If you wish, you can try

 

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

 

No guarantee it would work properly.

 

Regards.
