[SOLVED] Is my i7 compitable with Win 11

[bwallx]

I currently have the following:

Asrock Z87M Extreme4 mobo with Intel i7 4790k 4Ghz Hasswell 22mm tech

It seems the mobo needs a 17 pin TPM module for Win 11, all suppliers seem to be out of stock!!

But I also worry the i7 CPU won't be compatible even with the TPM module.

I am stuck with this hardware as to improve the system I need both a new mobo AND a new CPU and that is beyond my budget. I am not a gamer but photographer with high end software.

I see MS withdrew their Compatibility-Checker and wonder if this means the TPM requirement was a mistake? Pretty Please?

I am an early adopter and dearly love to get Win 11.

Worse case you can try it and if it doesn't work you can stay on win10 as that will be supported for quite a few more years.
