how to update processor

[gopalkrishna]

My existing processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 760 @ 2.80GHz 2.79 GHz in the system mother board is not supporting for Win11 upgrade, Can you please guide how to resolve the issue

You need  - a new motherboard, a new processor, new memory, probably a new power supply.

I suggest you start looking at systems with an 11th gen processor or greater, although the minimum is 8th gen processors.

Any cheaper short cut?

[AlHill]

If you want Windows 11, then no.  However, you might try using the hack to get W11 installed.  Of course, this is at your own risk.
