how can I register my processor for windows 11

Question

My Computer has a processor which isn't enlisted in the registered processors in the list. I really want to install windows 11, and although my computers processor is strong still it says you can't upgrade to windows 11 in the PC health check.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.9GHz is the name and model of my processor.
please help me in this regard

Best Regards

Answer 1

There is more to "running win 11" than the strength of the processor. MS has a series of compatibility and perf tests it runs to determine what will and will not work. If your processor doesn't pass that test (or it is too old) then there is nothing you can do to change that.

Note that there are easily searchable ways to bypass the processor check and install Windows 11 anyway. However you are then running Windows unsupported (and there is nothing you can do to change that), you may run into issues up to and including an unbootable machine, and MS has said that in the future it may block updates for unsupported configurations. So my personal recommendation is to stick with Win10 until you're ready to upgrade the processor to a supported platform. Win11 isn't worth the hassle for this.

Answer 2

It most likely does not meet the requirements for Windows 11, windows-11-specifications, and the big culprit is not having/supporting TPM hardware version 2.0 (not the same as updating the software version to 2.0).

Answer 3

Most computers running Windows 10 can upgrade to Windows 11 in a supported or unsupported fashion.

Unsupported upgrades may not benefit from the improvements in performance, reliability, and security.
