You do have to tweak the install disk to ignore the fact that the processor is not on the officially supported list, but that's not too hard.

My old laptop says that I cannot use Windows 11. Can you tell me how to know if I have a 3rd generation Core processor? I love this PC, and I hate to stop using it. My new 14" laptop is too small. I can barely read anything online. Gives me a headache. TIA
Old PC:
Device Name SONY-Tap-20-40GB3KG
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3517U CPU @ 1.90GHz 1.90 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.88 GB usable)
Storage 932 GB SSD Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB
Graphics Card Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 (32 MB)
Device ID F1D28A3A-C537-4325-A524-C0C71791E840
Product ID 00326-10000-00000-AA161
System Type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch Touch support with 10 touch points
EDIT: I think I figured out why my old laptop cannot use Windows 11. My T.P.M. shows 1.5, not 2.0 which is what Windows 11 requires. It is a shame that the TPM cannot be changed.
