About windows 11 upgrade

Hello, I have an issue with switching to windows 11. I have installed the PC Health Check app and it says that I can't upgrade because my processor is not supported. When I checked the list of the supported processors I could find mine (i5-7300HQ). I even reinstalled the app and I still can't upgrade to windows 11.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Your processor is not on the list of supported Intel processors for Windows 11.

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.

Microsoft provide the required registry edit on this link:
