PC Doesn't Meet Windows 11 System Requirement - i7 6700HQ
Hi team, I just want to provide a feedback about the disappointment that my computer cannot be upgraded to Windows 11. I've been a big fan and supporter of Microsoft in the past 14 years ever since ...

Hope this helps I now have 11 running on the Intel 6700HQ
So I'm not sure if it works using update assistant however I downloaded the media creation tool from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11
Then after creating a USB install drive I did a clean install! So far all working well still working in the last of the drivers!
Good luck everyone that is just below minimum "recommended" specs

Tried this, and still got an error message that the Intel 6700HQ is not on the supported processor list.
- xXchingXxJan 11, 2022Brass ContributorIt has to be a clean install from a media source like a USB install disk. I'd you try to run it as an upgrade it will fail. So after you create the install disk you will have to boot the computer from the disk you created with the "media creation tool". It should walk you through the rest of the install. You will likely have to download a few drivers as windows update misses some critical ones from time to time. If you have never done this I would recommend searching and learning how to install or reinstall a windows os on UEFI bios " most likely the bios type you have". Or asking someone you you know who has this knowledge! Not a good step for someone with no experience.
