Upgrading My PC for Windows 11: Which Processor Fits a Slot for an i7-6700?

Asked by CuriousUser92
Hey everyone! I'm in a bit of a mess here. My work PC is running on an i7-6700, but I've heard it's not compatible with Windows 11. I've been looking into processor upgrades, but it seems like newer processors don't fit the same slot. Is there any compatible processor I can swap in? I'd really appreciate your insights!

If youโ€™re using a 6th Gen i7, the only processors that would fit are 7th Gen, but unfortunately, those aren't compatible with Windows 11 either. Youโ€™ll need at least an 8th Gen processor to meet the requirements.
