I'm trying to install Windows 11 on my computer, but it's not detecting my CPU as compatible. I've already enabled the TPM chip in the BIOS, but I'm still facing this issue. I really don't want to upgrade my CPU since it means replacing the motherboard as well. I'm hoping to find some alternatives that would allow me to install Windows 11 without going through a whole upgrade process. Here's what I'm working with:
- Motherboard: MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON (MS-7A63)
- CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K @ 4.20GHz, 4 Cores, 8 Logical Processors
I'm comfortable with technical details, so feel free to use the correct terms!

To get Windows 11 up and running, you can use Rufus to create your installation media. Just go to the Rufus website and download it. When you create the USB installer, there's an option to bypass the TPM and CPU checks, which will help you get past that unsupported CPU error. It’s pretty straightforward!
Yeah, this method really works well. Just make sure to follow the steps in Rufus carefully.
