    Hi @Tushar Padia ,

    Microsoft listed all supported Intel CPUs for Windows 11 here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors
    Based on Microsoft's announcement in general all Intel CPUs of at least the 8th Generation are supported.
    The Intel I7-4600U is a 4th Generation CPU and not listed as a supported CPU by Microsoft (https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/76616/intel-core-i74600u-processor-4m-cache-up-to-3-30-ghz.html)
