    Hello,

    Unfortunately, Intel Pentium Quad Core Processor N4200 processor is not compatible for Windows 11, according to Microsoft.

    Please check with official Windows 11 list of supported processors:

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

    According to Microsoft:

    Devices that do not meet the minimum system requirements had 52% more kernel mode crashes. Devices that do meet the minimum system requirements had a 99.8% crash free experience.

    Read more here: https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2021/08/27/update-on-windows-11-minimum-system-requirements-and-the-pc-health-check-app/

    You can drop a feedback to Microsoft about this, using Feedback hub app.

    Regards.
