    Hi @Keith Stout ,

    Unfortunately there's nothing we can do here on these forums to help you with your processor, let me give you some more information about the processor requirements for Windows 11.

    Microsoft first announced that they would only support 8th Generation of Intel processors and newer, however they did later start supporting some of the 7th Generation processors.

    The processor you are using is a 6th Generation processor, you can check the compatible list of Intel processors for Windows 11 over here:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

    The list is still being updated so it is not final, more processors will surely be supported in the near future, but for now your processor is unfortunately not in the supported list.

    You can always send feedback by using the Feedback Hub app and file a report and request your processor to be supported.

    Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app

    Another option is to upgrade your processor to a supported one.

    Hi @Keith Stout

    Some 7th generation and all 8th generation processors are supported for Windows 11. This has been done for enhanced PC performance and increased security by Microsoft and OEM companies.

    Windows 11 supported Intel processors
