[SOLVED] Dell Mobile workstation

[revphelps]

I have a Dell Precision 5510 mobile workstation. According to Dell, this model will not be upgraded to run Windows 11.
Is there a fix that would allow the 5510 to run Win 11?

1. What are the specs of this system? Primarily, what CPU?
2. Why Win 11?
3. Do you plan to still be using this system 4 years from now?

The Dell 5510 laptops ran 6th gen Core i5s and i7s.

That's the limiting factor right there. It is older than the 8th gens and the few 7th gen X-series CPUs that are the oldest compatible with Win 11. And there's no way around that.

As I understand it, the firmware TPM was updated to v.2, but you would have needed to apply the update software package from Dell specifically for that. Still, it wouldn't solve the CPU limitation.

Other than the hack that supposedly stops the processor check, but I wouldn't really trust that.

The cpu is Intel i7 6820HG
Graphics is Quadro M1000M
I like to keep options on the table for future use, if necessary.
Yes, to using this 4 years from now

Yep... as I said, a 6th gen CPU. Too old to run Win 11.

Thanks for the info.
