[SOLVED] Is i9 suitable

[JockyMacIntosh]

My MoBo is a Asus Maximus VIII Ranger and the current CPU is an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz 4.01 GHz
Although I am running Windows 11, I am reading that this processor may not be acceptable later on, so a pure amateur asks if
my board would be suitable for a Intel Core i9-9900K Retail - (1151/8 Core/3.60GHz/16MB/Coffee Lake/95W) - BX806849900K

No, that CPU is not compatible with your system.

6th and 7th gen LGA1151 are the 100 and 200 series boards.
8th and 9th gen LGA1151 are 300 series only
10th and 11th are LGA1200

1. No, that CPU is not compatible with your current motherboard.
2. Don't worry about hardware upgrade to meet Win 11 requirements until next year at the earliest.
