[SOLVED] Windows 11 compatibility question

[geomd1]

Hi. I have an intel core i5-6500 processor with a 100 series/C230' chipset motherboard. I'm running Windows 10 now but would like to upgrade to Windows 11. The pc health check app says that my processor is not compatible with Windows 11. Is there an available processor upgrade that would be compatible with my motherboard? My system is a Dell OptiPlex 7440 All-In-One. Thanks in advance for the advice.

No. There is not. Minimum 8th gen intel cpu is required.
Your motherboard supports 6th gen (and maybe 7th gen cpus with BIOS update).
