There is no such thing. Either the processor is supported by W11, or it is not. Yours is not.

Hello vkumar18

Thank you for posting on the Intel️® communities. As the SuperUser mentioned, you need to contact Microsoft* to confirm OS compatibility. Please keep in mind that this thread will no longer be monitored by Intel. Thank you for your understanding.
