Hence it is a better idea to upgrade with time, and no doubt, users are enthusiastic about upgrading from their current Windows versions. That being said, before we start with upgrading the most important question is about your CPU’s compatibility with Windows 11.

To check the compatibility of your CPU, there are two ways. First, you can just use the preinstalled software PC Health Check (only for Windows 10), or use the second method of manually going through settings to check your CPU configuration and comparing it with the Windows 11 minimum configuration.

In such a situation, the only option you have is to upgrade the CPU or purchase a TPM chip and install it on your motherboard. Because, as mentioned earlier, Windows 11 does require a TPM module version 2.0.
