Has anyone else hit a wall with the Windows 11 upgrade check? My PC runs Windows?

I had the same problem with my 7700K. It's a bummer, but that generation just missed the official support list.

You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool to force the upgrade, as it sometimes bypasses the stricter app check.

+1 Just to be sure, have you double-checked that TPM 2.0 is enabled in your BIOS?

Same here. I had the same problem with my 7700K. It meets the raw power specs, but Microsoft excluded that generation from the official support list.
