Not able to upgrade to Windows 11 due to unsupported CPU

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Microsoft were testing and adding some more processors, and did add some to the list, they indicate they have now completed testing, and no more processors will be added to the official list.

It is possible to install Windows 11 on an unsupported processor using the Windows 11 ISO, I have Windows 11 installed on an unsupported Core i7 7700HQ processor and Windows 11 runs very smoothly, however Microsoft advise you do not do that, they will not be liable for any problems caused by doing that and also you would not receive Windows 11 updates, however, everyone that has installed Windows 11 on an unsupported processor is still receiving updates.

Microsoft provide the required registry edit on this link to allow you to upgrade to Windows 11.

Never mind I found the website Check for Windows 11 compatibility: This tool tells you if your PC can handle the upgrade - CNET I think my computer can run Windows 11 unsupported CPU or processor
