How to fix missing processor type in list of allowed processors for update to windows 11

Question

I have a laptop with processor Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60Ghz but this processor is not listed on Microsoft approved processor summary list.

Is there some way to add it to there? I think it is by far capable of running windows smoothly.

Thanks

Answer 1

Hi,

No it is not possible. The supported processors have some exclusive features like VBS which is not in 6th generation.

For end consumers, this applies:

That being said, if you have TPM 2.0, Windows 11 should install and Processor is - just click Accept when prompted.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A.

Based on the description, I understand your question is related to processor.

Unfortunately, there is no direct way for an individual to add a processor to the Microsoft approved processor list. Microsoft works closely with hardware vendors like AMD and Intel to ensure that processors meet specific security requirements.

It is recommended to report your issue to both Intel and Microsoft. Try use the microsoft Feedback Hub app:

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Molly
