Hello, how can I upgrade to Windows 11? Can I upgrade my drive on my Predator PH317-51 so I can upgrade to Windows 11. It doesn't allow me to upgrade to Windows 11 because my drive is not compatible. Please Help. Thank you.

    @djwickedbeats seems like 7th Gen Intel is not included in the Windows 11 CPU compatibility list. You can still find a way to force an upgrade to Windows 11 but might be rejected from regular Windows updates in the future due to incompatibility hardware

    Please remember to include @AnhEZ28 when you want to reply back to my comment so that I can check your response.
    Thank you and have a nice day!

    I Have a PT715-51-71w9 and I keep getting the error that my processor isn't compatible. Is that true? It meets all of the base line criteria. If there is a way, how do I do it. The machine should be fast enough for windows 11. It would be a bummer to have to buy a new machine.

    Let me know and thanks!

    Yes, the Acer Predator Triton 700 PT715-51 model meets the requirements for Windows 11. You can upgrade to Windows 11, but be aware that there might be some minor bugs currently present in Windows 11. It's always a good idea to check for any driver updates and run Windows Update after installing Windows 11 to ensure everything runs smoothly
