Hi, I am finding this has been quite a task for me.
Although I have made a little progress. I want to upgrade to Windows 11, because it will be free, using
Gigabyte H170 on Windows 10Pro
Intel Core i5-6600K , Socket H4 (LGA1151)
This board has a TPM module v2.0 and is enabled ok.
Some sources say yes with a newer processor and some are saying no.
I would really like to keep this board and a newer processor at the lowest cost possible may be within my budget.
Thanks for any of your help.

Gigabyte have a number of them, which one do you own, specifically?

If you're on Windows 10, at this moment of time, you can upgrade to the latter OS, provided you're on the latest BIOS version. Once you're done with the upgrade path, you should manually reinstall the OS in offline mode(after creating your bootable USB installer for Windows 11).

Hi, sorry, GIGABYTE H170-HD3-CF, 16GB DDR4-2666 / PC4-21300 DDR4 SDRAM UDIMM.
Does this method disable any Windows 11 features?
