I'd like to ask if I'll be able to upgrade to and install Windows 11 Pro on my machine or if I'll need to buy a new laptop with a later generation processor. Thanks for thinking about and replying to my question.
FAQ & Answers
Unfortunatley 6th Gen Intel CPU's are not supported in Win-11, see Microsoft "Windows 11 requirements" here and their CPU compatible list is here "Windows 11 Supported Intel Processors" and as far as the Intel Core processors like i3, i5 and i7 its from the 8th Gen UP at this time (wait and see what the final specs are from Microsoft?) as it could chnage?
