[NAME]  Check for INTEL PTT in bios. Then use the  Mosetup method to install WIN11  If you do not have TPM 1.2 or newer via PTT you wont be installing windows 11.   The other way to solve this is to buy a T1700 Workstation and migrate your hardware to that.  The T1700 chipset supports both Core I7 4770 as well as XEON processors. [URL] Nvidia vr ready systems  Thats what I use with 11 for my daily driver now as the systems are not expensive.  Money is invested in NEW 2TB HDD and GPU rather than spend money upgrading older model with newer motherboard, ram,cpu etc. RX550 is not as Fast as RTX4000 but costs $220 for the GPU not $1000 [URL]   [IMAGE][IMAGE] [IMAGE][IMAGE]
So I have a XPS 8700 i7-4770 desktop that works great but won't update to Windows 11 due to processor being 4th Gen and Windows 11 requires 8th Gen or higher.  Also needs TPM, but assume that's easier fix. Is there a processor upgrade for this unit that would work to replace it? Everything else is "Green" for PC Health check and I'd hate to replace this tower just for the processor.    Have 24GB RAM, TB's of hard-drive space, and a few other upgrades made over the life of the PC. Seems most new desktops come with all of this or alot less even (ie 16GB RAM, less HD Memory). I'd prefer not to have to rebuy everything that I don't need if I can just update Processor and/or motherboard for a better price? Something I've never done before, but seems doable based on online research.
XPS 8700, CPU upgrade 8th Gen or higher, Windows 11?
