Hello @Shahariar Raza

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform,

You can check the compatibility list of CPU for Windows 11 here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

If your processor is not supported you can report it via Feedback Hub:

I hope this helps!

Most computers using Windows 10 can use Windows 11 in a supported or unsupported fashion.

This includes desktops, laptops, and tablets.

There are various methods to use Windows 11 in an unsupported fashion.

There are many that were unhappy with Windows 11 so make sure that you make free backup images before the unsupported installation.

There is a default go back period of ten days and this can be modified to sixty days.

The go back feature may not work so again it is important to make free backup images.

In order to return to Windows 10 after the expiration of the go back period requires a clean install.

For free or pay backup images:

(Acronis, Aoemi, EaseUS, Macrium, Paragon, etc.)

This is one option to upgrade in an unsupported fashion:

Answer 3

Hello,

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

Based on the information provided, And cross checking the information

Yes Your Processor is not listed In the windows 10 compatibility and supported intel processors.

Since, Some of the 7th generation processor and all 8th generation Intel processor are supported for Windows 11 And in your case it might not support the windows 11.

Also, Please note that I will not recommend you to Clean install the windows since, installing Windows 11 on an unsupported PC won’t receive essential Windows 11 updates.
