Nice build! I’ve seen quite a few people run Windows 11 on similar setups. As long as you use a workaround for the TPM and CPU check, it should work pretty smoothly. Just keep an eye on driver compatibility.
Hello,
Unfortunately, i7-3770 processor is not compatible for Windows 11, according to Microsoft.
Please check with official Windows 11 list of supported processors:
According to Microsoft:
Devices that do not meet the minimum system requirements had 52% more kernel mode crashes. Devices that do meet the minimum system requirements had a 99.8% crash free experience.
