Question upgrade win10 to 11 - which processor

[bobbee25]

have prime z270-a motherboard with iIntel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz, 4200 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) which fails the win11 processor test.

Which intel processor should I go with.

Second PC with Ryzen 7 3700 - the feature I like the most w/ this processor is that I can have multiple windows coping files simultaneously.

If I stay with the prime motherboard, I have 32gb of ddr4 memory available.

Which intel processor uses ddr4 memory , works with the prime mb and would permit the simultaneous file copies ?

As far as the Intel and the motherboard you will need a newer Intel platform at the very least be able to run an 8th Gen Intel CPU your current Z270 is for 6th/7th Gen and Windows 11 starts at 8th Gen.
