Windows 11 Installation

Question

I cannot install or upgrade to Windows 11, for my Processor is not supported.

Is there any work around ?

Shall I expect where my processor is also becoming eligible for Windows 11 ?

Hi Dr Abdul Rasheed

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.

Another option would be to contact your PC manufacturer to see if that processor can be upgraded.

Answer 2

Thank you very much for your encouraging advice.

I prepared a Pen Drive from an ISO of Windows 11 64 downloaded.

Installation was not of any great problem, but when my daughter told me none of the Office documents are opening, I was confused a bit.

But after an online repair of the office 2019 64 Pro the problem is no more now. No other issues so far. Updates are coming. I do not know for how long.

There is no workaround

There is nothing you can do other than Upgrade/buy a new PC
