    Hi @Mohammad Afzaal ,

    at the moment there are no official statements the list of supported CPUs will be increased. At least I haven't found any official statements so far.

    You could raise your feedback in the Feedback Hub app to add the "Intel i3 6006U" to the list if possible. But there is no guarantee Microsoft will do so.

    You options at the moment are:

    • Wait if the CPU will be supported (with no guarantee it will) and use your current Windows version
    • Get a device with supported CPU

    I don't see any other options at the moment, sorry.

    I have a HP Thinbook 14-bp020nd i3-6006U, 4/128GB that now runs W11 24H2 NL Home

    It is not in any lists, but installed perfectly with the latest firmware with TPM Secureboot available.
