I have a Dell XPS 8900 with
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3408 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 3 Logical Processor(s)
This is incompatible with Windows 11.
What processor upgrade can I make that will be compatible with Windows 11? From what I can tell this is a Skylake processor.
Thank you.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there are no processors that are compatible with your motherboard that are on the supported processor list for Windows 11. For more information,
- You can see the list of processors compatible with your motherboard's chipset here.
- You can see the list of processors supported by Windows 11 here.
Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that you cannot install and run Windows 11 on your PC. Take a look at the discussion of Windows 11 installation on unsupported PCs here.
Hope this helps,
...S
