I have a laptop with processor Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60Ghz but this processor is not listed on Microsoft approved processor summary list.

Is there some way to add it to there? I think it is by far capable of running windows smoothly.

Thanks

    Hi,

    No it is not possible. The supported processors have some exclusive features like VBS which is not in 6th generation.

    For end consumers, this applies:

    That being said, if you have TPM 2.0, Windows 11 should install and Processor is - just click Accept when prompted.

    I hope this helps.
