Upgrade CPU for Win 11

daba — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:41:04 GMT

My Intel Core i7 3770 CPU will not support windows 11 (TPM missing).

The mainboard is an ASUS P8B75-M LX, which is a socket 1155 LGA.

Looking for a processor upgrade if possible, and finding this a bit of a minefield.

Any other info needed I can get from CPU-Z ...

Help or advice would be appreciated ...

TIA

You will not find a processor that is 8th gen or later that will use that socket.

You have to face the reality of a hardware (motherboard, memory, processor, fan, etc) upgrade.

Easier to get a new system that is supported.

You can, however, take the risk of doing the upgrade:
