Just follow https://pureinfotech.com/install-windows-11-unsupported-pc/#unsupported_clean_install_iso_windows11
I have Dell Inspiration 15 with 6300HQ and no problem with Win 11

Answer 3

Hi @MassimoDAlessandro-6708,

There is no official update for support for Intel's 6th Generation processors, personally I wouldn't expect any 6th Generation Intel processors to be supported for Windows 11, as they are already over 5 years old.

Answer 4

Hello @MassimoDAlessandro-6708

Please note this 6300HQ model is not yet in the list of supported processor list.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

However I will advise to keep checking the url for the list if it may be supported in future but there is no time line yet when it will be supported.

Hope this answers your question
