[SOLVED] What Intel Core motherboard do I need for Windows 11 upgrade?

[RetroMaster2022]

I need to upgrade my PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11, but when tried to check my PC for requirements, the results said the Intel Core i7-3770 does not support Windows 11.

Here are the specifications of my PC:

Desktop: HP Z220 Convertible Minitower Workstation
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Video Card: GeForce GT 710
RAM: 8.0 GB
Operating System: Windows 10

Microsoft has a list of supported CPUs -- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...pported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors
The Intel 7xxx series CPUs are the oldest supported CPUs. That would be a 100 or 200 series motherboard.

I think Windows 11 is pretty much restricted to 8th generation and newer motherboards. Might be some exceptions or some tricks to get around it. That's quite a few generations newer than what you have.
