Windows 11 Compatibility Issue - Hardware Limitations

Why Your PC Cannot Run Windows 11 ❌ Missing TPM 2.0 (Security Chip Not Detected) ❌ Unsupported CPU (Your Intel Core i5-3317U is Too Old) Windows 11 Requires: ✔ TPM 2.0 (Security Chip) ✔ 8th Gen Intel or Newer CPU (Yours is 3rd Gen)

What You Can Do

Option 1: Keep Using Windows 10 (Best Choice for Most Users)

✅ Safe & Easy – No changes needed
✅ Updates Until 2025 – Microsoft still supports Windows 10
✅ All Your Apps Keep Working

Option 2: Check if TPM Can Be Enabled (For Some PCs)

Restart PC & Enter BIOS (Press F2, F12, DEL, or ESC at startup)
Find TPM/PTT Settings (Under Security or Advanced)
Enable TPM 2.0 or Intel PTT
Save & Restart

⚠ Even if TPM works, your CPU is still too old for Windows 11.

Option 3: Upgrade Hardware (Costly but Future-Proof)

🛠 Buy a New PC or Motherboard (With TPM 2.0 & New CPU)

💰 Cost: 300 − 300−1000+ (Depends on Model)

🚫 No Microsoft Support if Something Breaks
