I currently have a HP Pavilion Desktop PC 570-p033. Product number Z5N87AA#ABA. My CPU is 7th Generation Intel Core I7-7700. My motherboard is HP82F200 with a 1151LGA CPU slot. Windows 10. PC health check says my machine as it is now cannot be updated to Windows 11. My question is can I replace the CPU with a 8th generation Intel Core I7-8700 which according to the CPU compatibility list is supported by windows 11.

    Good Day Chuck.,

    My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 11 pc and community member like you.

    The minimum requirements for Windows 11 is at least 8th Gen processors. The processor you are using which is Intel Core I7-7700 is a 7th Gen processesor

    Here's the list of intel supported processor for Windows 11.

    However if you want to update your device to Windows 11, you can reach out to your computer manufacturer and have them check what is the compatible processor for processor replacement to update to Windows 11.

    You can stay in Windows 10 it is still supported until year 2025, by that time you will have a new computer already.

    This is a community forum, I don't work for Microsoft , I am a community member like you.

    Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

    Sincerely,

    Carlo T.

    Ask this question on the HP forums or open a support ticket with HP

    This is not a Windows issue
