Dell Optiplex 9020
My Dell OpiPlex 9020 is currently running Windows 10 22H2 and it says that my processor doesn't support Windows 11. My CPU is an Intel Core i7-4770 running at 3.4 GHtz. Anyone know what processors would work for both Windows 11 and the computer?

Here is the list of Windows 11 supported processors https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors
Unfortunately, none of them would work with your computer.

OP can still bypass the cpu requirement check and install/run Windows 11 on 9020.

Microsoft does not officially support Windows 11 on hardware older than approx. 2017, Windows 11 support begins with 8th Gen (Coffee Lake) and later for Intel processors/hardware. So using any official Microsoft 'readiness' tool on unsupported older system will report 'not supported'. There are methods to create modified installation media on your own that will bypass the 'supported hardware' compliance check and allow Windows 11 to install. Microsoft itself created and publicly disclosed one of them, so that people could test earlier releases of Windows 11 on their system. It will leave your computer in an "unsupported configuration or state", so don't expect any support from official Microsoft channels. Even if you purchased Windows 11. But as of this posting, you can get all Windows Updates.
