[SOLVED] I have MAXIMUS VIII HERO can I upgrade cpu?

[backdrop001]

I was wondering if I could upgrade the cpu so I can get win 11? My Pc is a few years old and wondered if I could just upgrade it instead of getting a whole new pc.

What cpu do you have now?

What exact motherboard, there should be a letter and some numbers, for example Z270.

This page lists the CPUs supported by your motherboard -- https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboard...ds/All-series/MAXIMUS-VIII-HERO/HelpDesk_CPU/

Officially your motherboard does not meet the requirements.
Could you get Win11 installed? Probably. Will you benefit from Win11? Probably not.
